Answer:

No, It does not.

Explanation:

(3,4) means (x,y). When you insert 3 to x and 4 to y, You get this:

5(3)-9(4)=32

If you multiply 5 and 3, You get 15.

15-9(4)=32

If you multiply 9 and 4, you get 36.

15-36=32

If you subtract 15-36, you get -21.

This is why the answer is no because -21 does not equal 32

-21 ≠ 32

Hope this helps! :)
