Question

Which ordered pair is a solution to the equation: y - 3 = x+2?

a) (5,10)
b) (0,0)
c) (7,6)
d) (10,5)

Answer 1

Answer:
d) (10,5)

to check:
(5,10)
x=5
y=10

y-3=x+2
10-3=5+2
7=7

Answer 2

Let's solve for x.y−3=x+2Step 1: Flip the equation.x+2=y−3

Step 2: Add -2 to both sides.x+2+−2=y−3+−2x=y−5

Answer:

x=y−5
