This is false when u fill in for x you get the answer -3 and it should be five and when you fill in for why you get the answer 18 and it should be 2 which makes the statement incorrect

Hi!

To do this, put the values in the equation.

-2 * 2 + 4 * 5 = -16

Solve

-4 + 20 = -16

16 = -16

(2,5) is not a solution of -2x+4y=-16

Hope this helps! :)
