Question

Given the equation −2 + 7 = −25 find the value of if the ordered pair (2, ) is a solution

A. 19.5
B. -3
C. -19.5
D. 3

Answer 1

To find the value of x if the ordered pair (2, x) is a solution to the equation -2 + 7 = -25, we can substitute the x-value into the equation and solve for x. Since the equation 5 = -25 is not true, the ordered pair (2, x) is not a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x if the ordered pair (2, x) is a solution to the equation -2 + 7 = -25, we can substitute the x-value into the equation and solve for x.

Substituting x = -25 into the equation, we get -2 + 7 = -25. Simplifying, we have 5 = -25. Since 5 is not equal to -25, the ordered pair (2, x) is not a solution to the equation. Therefore, there is no value of x that satisfies the condition.

Thus, the answer is None of the above.
