Which ordered pair is the solution?

7x-5=4y-6

a: (2,4)

b: (3,6)

c: both (2,4) and (3,6)

d: neither

d) neither

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is 7x - 5 = 4y -6 ...… (1)

Substitute x = 2 and y= 4 in equation (1)

 7(2) -5 = 4(4) -6

  9 ≠ 10

a) is not satisfied

Substitute x = 3 and y= 6 in equation (1)

 7(3) -5 = 4(6) -6

  16 ≠ 18

b) is not satisfied

c) is also not satisfied

Final answer:- neither

Option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

We need check which ordered pair is the solution.

Substitute x=2 and y=4 in the above equation.

It is a false statement because .

So, (2,4) is not a solution of given equation.

Substitute x=3 and y=6 in the above equation.

It is a false statement because .

So, (3,6) is not a solution of given equation.

Therefore, option d is correct.
