Answer:

The ordered pair is NOT a solution of the system. It's only a solution to y = -2x - 1, but it's NOT a solution to y = x + 2.... So, your answer to this problem, would be NO

Step-by-step explanation: You have to substitute in -3 for x & 5 for y...

Soooo...

y = -2x - 1 y = x + 2

5 = -2(-3) - 1 5 = -3 + 2

5 = 6 - 1 5 = -1

5 = 5

  • Remember, a negative times a negative equals a positive

Hope this info helps you!!! I'm really really sorry if I'm incorrect...
