Medal will be given to the best answer.

Which of the following is a solution to the equation y = 3x - 1?

A. (4,1)

B. (2,5)

C. (4,3)

D. (0, - 3)

B. (2,5)

For this problem, simply plug in the X values and calculate the Y value and verify that the Y value matches the value given.

A. (4,1); X = 4: 3x - 1 = 3*4 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11. 11 does not match 1.

B. (2,5); X = 2: 3x - 1 = 3*2 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5. 5 matches 5.

C. (4,3); X = 4: 3x - 1 = 3*4 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11 does not match 3

D. (0,-3); X = 0: 3x - 1 = 3*0 - 1 = 0 - 1 = - 1 does not match - 3

And of the above, only option "B. (2,5) " matches.
