Accepted Solution

A:
The true statements are:
       -When (2, 3) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true. Indeed, 3(2)+4(3) = 6+12 = 18.

       -The ordered pair (2, 3) is not a solution to the system of linear equations. The second equation is false when (2,3). 2(2)-2(3) = 4-6 = -2. -2 does not equal 2, so the equation is false.

       -When (2, 3) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is false. 2(2)-2(3) = 4-6 = -2. -2 does not equal 2, so the equation is false.
