Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y = 2(x + 1)?

1) (5,10)
2) (-1,-5)
3) Both (5,10) and (-1,-5)
4) Neither

Answer 1

By plugging the given ordered pairs into the equation y = 2(x + 1), we find that neither (5,10) nor (-1,-5) satisfy the equation, so the correct answer is 4) Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which ordered pair is a solution to the equation y = 2(x + 1). To find which of the given ordered pairs is a solution, we substitute the x and y values from each pair into the equation.

1. For the pair (5,10), we check if 10 = 2*(5 + 1), which simplifies to 10 = 2*6. Since 10 = 12 is false, (5,10) is not a solution.
2. For the pair (-1,-5), we check if -5 = 2*(-1 + 1), which simplifies to -5 = 2*0. Since -5 = 0 is also false, (-1,-5) is not a solution.

Since neither (5,10) nor (-1,-5) satisfy the equation, the correct answer is 4) Neither.
