Answer:

The ordered pair that is a solution to the equation (5, 2)

Explanation:

It is given that,

2x + 5y = 20

To find the ordered pairs

Multiples of 2 are,

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12....

Multiples of 5 are,

5, 10, 15, 20,...

20 can be written as,

20 = 2x + 5y

2x is the multiple of 2 and 5y is the multiple of 5

From the above data we get, 20 = 10 + 10

2x = 10 then x = 5

5y = 10 then y = 2

Therefore the ordered pair that is a solution to the equation (5, 2)
