Which point below is a solution to the equation y = 2x + 3?

(37, 77)
(145, 291)
(78, 163)

(37, 77)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution, plug in each of the sets of values to see if the equation will be true:

y = 2x + 3

77 = 2(37) + 3

77 = 74 + 3

77 = 77

You should always check all answers:

291 = 2(145) + 3

291 = 290 + 3

291 ≠ 293

163 = 2(78) + 3

163 = 156 + 3

163 ≠ 159

So the answer is (37, 77).
