Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substituting $x = 3$ and $y = -2$ into both equations: For the first equation, $4(3) = -14 - (-2)$ simplifies to $12 = -12$, which is false. For the second equation, $3(3) = -17 - 4(-2)$ simplifies to $9 = -9$, which is also false. Therefore, the ordered pair (3, -2) is not a solution to the system.
