For the equation 6x – 5y = 8, verify that
(i) (3, 2) is a solution (ii) (2, 3) is not a solution
(i) Given equation, 6x – 5y = 8
For the point, (3, 2),
x = 3 and y = 2
Putting these values in, 6x – 5y = 8
LHS = 6x – 5y
= 6×3 – 5×2
= 18 – 10
= 8 = RHS
Since, LHS = RHS, therefore, (3, 2) is a solution of 6x – 5y = 8.
(ii) Given equation, 6x – 5y = 8
For the point, (2, 3),
x = 2 and y = 3
Putting these values in, 6x – 5y = 8
LHS = 6x – 5y
= 6×2 – 5×3
= 12 – 15
= – 3 ≠ RHS
Since, LHS ≠ RHS, therefore, (2, 3) is not a solution of 6x – 5y = 8.
