Problem

Decide whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the given system. \[ \begin{array}{c} (5,-7) \\ x+y=-2 \\ 2 x+3 y=16 \end{array} \] Is the s:dered pair a solution to the system of equations?

Solution

Step 1 :Substitute the values of the ordered pair into the system of equations.

Step 2 :For the first equation, substitute x=5 and y=-7, we get 5+(-7)=-2 which is true.

Step 3 :For the second equation, substitute x=5 and y=-7, we get 2*5+3*(-7)=16 which is false.

Step 4 :Since not all equations are true, the ordered pair (5,-7) is not a solution to the system of equations.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{The ordered pair (5,-7) is not a solution to the system of equations.}}\)
