alleryStart learning →An ordered pair solves the system only when it makes both equations:
ATorn
BTrue
CTall
DThin
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. True
1. Substituting the pair turns each equation into a statement.
2. Those statements are either true or false.
3. If the ordered pair makes both equations true, it is a solution to the system.
4. One true and one false is not enough.
