Verify if (1,7)(1, 7) is the solution to: {5x+2y=193xy=4\begin{cases} 5x + 2y = 19 \\ 3x - y = -4 \end{cases}

A

Yes

B

No, it satisfies neither equation

C

No, it only satisfies the first equation

D

No, it only satisfies the second equation

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Let's substitute (1,7)(1, 7) into both equations.

First equation: 5x+2y=195x + 2y = 195(1)+2(7)=5+14=195(1) + 2(7) = 5 + 14 = 19

Second equation: 3xy=43x - y = -43(1)7=37=43(1) - 7 = 3 - 7 = -4

Since (1,7)(1, 7) satisfies both equations, it is the Choice B is incorrect because the point satisfies both equations.

Choice C is incorrect because the point satisfies both, not just the first.

Choice D is incorrect because the point satisfies both, not just the second.
