Answer: Hi!
So, to find the answer to this question, we would substitute the variables in the equation with the x, y coordinated of the solution.
x = 2 and 4 = y
Our equation now looks like this:
4 = 17(2) - 12
4 = 34 - 12
4 = 22
This is not a true statement! Therefore, the point (2,4) cannot be a solution for this equation.
Hope this helps!
