21 = 21 >>>>>>>>>>Equal

C. (7, 0)
3(7) - 4(0) = 21
21 = 21>>>>>>>>>>equal

D. (11, 3)
3(11) - 4(3) = 21
21 = 21 >>>>>>>>>equal

Answer:

The ordered pair which are solution to the equation are:

    B.    (-1,-6)

    C.    (7,0)

     D.   (11,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation in  terms of variables x and y as follows:

            [tex]3x-4y=21[/tex]

The ordered pair which are solutions to the equation are the points which when substituted to the equation satisfies the equation.

A)

(-3,3)

i.e. we put x= -3 and y=3 we get:

[tex]3\times (-3)-4\times 3=21\\\\i.e.\\\\-9-12=21\\\\i.e.\\\\-21=21[/tex]

which is not possible.

Hence, (-3,3) is not a solution to the equation.

B)

(-1,-6)

we put x=-1 and y=-6 into the equation to get:

[tex]3\times -1-4\times (-6)=21\\\\i.e.\\\\-3+24=21\\\\i.e.\\\\21=21[/tex]

Hence, (-1,-6) is a solution to the equation.

C)

(7,0)

we put x=7 and y=0 in the equation.

i.e.

[tex]3\times 7-4\times 0=21\\\\i.e.\\\\21-0=21\\\\i.e.\\\\21=21[/tex]

Hence, (7,0) is a solution to the equation.

D)

(11,3)

we put x=11 and y=3 into the equation.

i.e.

[tex]3\times 11-4\times 3=21\\\\i.e.\\\\33-12=21\\\\i.e.\\\\21=21[/tex]

Hence, (11,3) is a solution to the equation.
