Answer:

-25 ≠ 21

Explanation:

it looks like the question is asking you to solve 5x=4y+9 when given the ordered pair (-5,3)

you would substitute -5 for x and 3 for y in the equation

5(-5) = 4(3) + 9

-25 = 12 + 9

-25 = 21

the question is asking you to see if the left side is equal to the right side of the equation

-25 is not equal to 21, therefore (-5,3) is not a solution to the equation
