$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{A. What is Asked}}$

Which ordered pairs make the equation
$\bf{3x+2y=-7}$ true? Select all that apply. 3 options are given

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}$

We can tell which ordered pairs make equations true by plugging in the coordinates.

$\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;ONE}$

$\bf{3(3)+2(-8)=-7}$ | simplify

$\bf{9-16=-7}$ |simplify

$\bf{-7\equiv-7}$ | this one checks

$\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;TWO}$

$\bf{3(-2)+2(-1)=-7}$ | simplify

$\bf{-6-2=-7}$ | simplify

$\bf{-8\\eq-7}$ | this one does not check

$\mathbb{ORDERED\;PAIR\;NUMBER\;THREE}$

$\bf{3(1)+2(-4)=-7}$ | simplify

$\bf{3-8=-7}$ | simplify

$\bf{-5\\e-7}$ | this one does not check

$\rule{300}{1.7}$

$\bf{Result:}$

$\bf{=The\;First\;Option$

$\boxed{\bf{aesthetic \\ot101}}$
