Hello!
You have to put in x and y into the equation and see if it is true
2x + 5y = 17
x = -4, y = 5
2(-4) + 5(5) = 17
-8 + 25 = 17
So (-4, 5) is a solution
Now we do the next one
2(6) + 5(1) = 17
12 + 5 = 17
So (6, 1) is also a solution
2(2) + 5(5) = 17
4 + 25 = 17
29[tex] \neq 17[/tex]
So (2, 5) is not a solution
The answers are
A: Yes
B: Yes
C: No
Hope this helps!
