Check which of the following are solutions of the equation x-2y = 4 and which are not:
(i) (0, 2)
(ii) (2, 0)
(iii) (4, 0)
(iv)
(v) (1, 1)
(i) Put x = 0
And
y = 2
In the equation x – 2y = 4
0 – 2 * 2 = 4
-4 ≠ 4
Therefore,
(0, 2) isn’t a solution of the given equation
(ii) Put x = 2
And
y = 0
In the equation x – 2y = 4
2 – 2 * 0 = 4
2 ≠ 4
Therefore,
(2, 0) isn’t a solution of the given equation
(iii) Put x = 4
And
y = 0
In the equation x – 2y = 4
4 – 2 * 0 = 4
4 = 4
Therefore,
(4, 0) is a solution of the equation
(iv) Put x =
And
In the equation x – 2y = 4
(1 – 8) = 4
≠ 4
Therefore,
is n’t a solution of the given equation
(v) Put x = 1
And
y = 1
In the equation x – 2y = 4
1 – 2 * 1 = 4
-1 ≠ 4
Therefore, (1, 1) isn’t a solution of the given equation
