answer.
2y + x = 4

Answer 1

To determine if the ordered pair (-2,-3) is a solution to the function 2y + x = 4, we can substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into the equation and check if the equation holds true.

Substituting x = -2 and y = -3 into the equation, we get:

2(-3) + (-2) = 4

Simplifying this equation:

-6 - 2 = 4

-8 = 4

Since -8 is not equal to 4, the equation does not hold true when we substitute the values from the ordered pair (-2,-3). Therefore, (-2,-3) is not a solution to the function 2y + x = 4.
