The ordered pair that is a solution of the equation is: a) (-2, 4)
What is the solution of the equation?
The equation is given as:
5x - 2y = 18
Option A:
When x = -2, and y = 4 we have:
5(-2) - 2(4) = -10 - 8 = 18
Thus, (-2, 4) is a solution
Option B:
When x = 3, and y = 5 we have:
5(3) - 2(5) = 15 - 10 = 5
Thus, (3, 5) is not a solution
Option C:
When x = 6, and y = 8 we have:
5(6) - 2(8) = 30 - 16 = 14
Thus, (6, 8) is not a solution
Option D:
When x = 0, and y = 9 we have:
5(0) - 2(9) = 0 - 18 = -18
Thus, (3, 5) is not a solution
