Exercise 7 Page 417

Substitute the ordered pair into the given equation and then simplify.

Yes

In an ordered pair, the first coordinate corresponds to the x- value and second to the y- value. ( 4, 9) ⇕ x = 4, y = 9 We can determine whether (4,9) is a solution by substituting it into the equation and simplifying. Let's substitute 4 for x and 9 for y.
y = 6x - 15
9 = 6* 4 - 15
9 = 24 - 15
9 = 9 âś“
We got a true statement. This means that the ordered pair (4,9) is a solution of the equation.
