Answer

(1,-4) is a solution of the system, while (0,6) and (3,0) are not.

Work Step by Step

Equation 1: $2x - y = 6$ Equation 2: $3x + 2y = -5$ Add equation 1 and equation 2: $$2x - y = 6$$ $$+$$ $$3x + 2y = -5$$ $$=$$ $$5x+y=1$$ The given ordered pairs must satisfy this equation for them to be considered a solution of the system. $$(1, -4)$$ $$5x+y=1$$ $$5(1)+(-4)=1$$ $$5-4=1$$ $$1=1$$ $$TRUE$$ $$(0, 6)$$ $$5x+y=1$$ $$5(0)+6=1$$ $$0+6=1$$ $$6=1$$ $$FALSE$$ $$(3, 0)$$ $$5x+y=1$$ $$5(3)+0=1$$ $$15=0$$ $$FALSE$$
