Verify if (2,6)(2, 6) is the solution to: {3x+y=122xy=2\begin{cases} 3x + y = 12 \\ 2x - y = -2 \end{cases}

A

No, it only satisfies the second equation

B

Yes

C

No, it satisfies neither equation

D

No, it only satisfies the first equation

Correct Answer: B

Choice B is the correct answer. Let's substitute (2,6)(2, 6) into both equations.

First equation: 3x+y=123x + y = 123(2)+6=6+6=123(2) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12

Second equation: 2xy=22x - y = -22(2)6=46=22(2) - 6 = 4 - 6 = -2

Since (2,6)(2, 6) satisfies both equations, it is the Choice A is incorrect because it satisfies both.

Choice C is incorrect because it satisfies both.

Choice D is incorrect because it satisfies both.
