We have the following system of linear equations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x-3y=-15 \\ 2x+y=-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
We want to know if the pair (x,y) = (-2,1) is a solution of the system above.
To see if this pair is a solution, we simply replace the values of x and y in the equations above and we verify if the equality holds.
1) Replacing in the first equation we see that:
6x - 3y = 6*(-2) - 3*(1) = -12 -3 = -15 ✓
The equality holds.
2) Replacing in the second equation we see that:
2x + y = 2*(-2) + 1 = -4 + 1 = -3 ✓
The equality holds.
We conclude that (-2,1) is a solution to the system of linear equations.
Answer: True
