We are given the following equation:
[tex]5x-9y=32[/tex]To determine if the point (1, 3) is a solution to this equation we will replace the given values since the point (1, 3) means that when x = 1, y = 3. Replacing in the equation:
[tex]5(1)-9(3)=32[/tex]Solving the operation we should get the same value on both sides of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5-27=32 \\ -22\ne32 \end{gathered}[/tex]Since both sides are different this means that the point (1, 3) is not a solution to the equation.
