# Math Help - class help please!

I've been needing some help with my algebra class.. thank you!

The ordered pair (2, 16) is a solution for which equation(s)? Check all that apply.
A. y = 2x2
B. y = (2x)2
C. y = 2x + 2
D. y = (x + 2)2

Here is my final problem I'm stuck at.. I read through my book several times but it does not mention what I do... My teacher said we whent over it in class.. But being absent has it's downs. =/

For each equation substitute in $x=2$, if the result gives 16 then it is a solution, i'll do the first one

$y=2x^2$

$x=2$

$y=2(2)^2= 2\times 4 = 8 \neq 16$

pickslides knows that this option is wrong. In fact, he clearly indicated that it was wrong. He started with option A and showed it was wrong as an example of how to follow his good advice:

The expectation was that you would test the remaining options in the same way until you found the option that worked.
