Is (2, 5) a solution to this system of equations?

6x + y = 17

3x + 14y = 16

yes or no

Putting the value of x = 2 in the first equation,

6 (2) + y = 17

y = 17-12 = 5

This value is same as the value for y given in the question.

Therefore, it satisfies the equation.

Again, putting the value of x = 2 in the second equation,

3 (2) + 14y = 16

14y = 16-6 = 10

y = 10/14 = 5/7

It doesn't satisfies the 2nd equation

Hence, (2,5) is not the solution to this system.
