Question

Find an ordered pair(X, Y) that is a solution to the equationX minus 5Y equals five

Answer 1

To solve this problem, the first step is to find the slope intercept form of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} x-5y=5 \\ 5y+5=x \\ 5y=x-5 \\ y=(1)/(5)x-1 \end{gathered}`

Now, use a random value of x and find y, for example in this case we can use x=5 :

`\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(5)(5)-1 \\ y=1-1 \\ y=0 \end{gathered}`

The ordered pair that is a solution for the given equation is (5,0).
