Answer: No

Explanation:

So you have to substitute the x and y with the numbers in the ordered pair.

y becomes 28.

x becomes 4.

So the equation 7 = y - 5x becomes 7 = 28 - 5(4).

Then, you solve.

7 = 28 - 5(4)

7 = 28 - 20

7 = 8

7 ≠ 8

So, the ordered pair is NOT a solution of the equation.

Hope this helps!!!
