3x + 4y = 9 is an equation, a statement that states the two expressions 3x + 4y and 9 are equal. We like to know if there are any values of the variables x and y that will make the statement a true one.

In our case, we're going to check if x = 2 and y = 5, will satisfy the given equation. In other words, if we substitute the corresponding values of x and y into the equation and the left side will equal to the right side, then (2, 5) is a solution. Otherwise, it's not.

Check:

3x + 4y = 9; x = 2 and y = 5

3(2) + 4(5) =? 9

6 + 20 =? 9

26 = 9 False

Therefore, (2, 5) is not a solution.
