SOLVING


\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}}
