Question

Express y in the terms of x given that –2x + y = 7. Check whether (–3, –2)

is a solution of the equation​

Answer 1

−2x+y−7=0

⟹−2x+y=7⇒y=2x+7

Now, check for x=−3 and y=−2 for the solution of given equation:

We have, RHS =2x+7

=2(−3)+7=−6+7=1



=−2= LHS

Hence, x=−3 and y=−2 isn't the solution of given equation.
