In order to find which table correctly lists the solutions, we can replace the values of x in the equation and find the corresponding values of y.

First, let's rewrite the equation in the form:

5x + y = 14

y = 14 - 5x

• Now, for x = -1, we have:

y = 14 - 5*(-1) = 14 + 5 = 19

Then, we have the pair: x = -1, y = 19.

• For x = 0, we have:

y = 14 - 5*0 = 14 - 0 = 14

Then, we have the pair: x = 0, y = 14.

• And, for x = 1, we have:

y = 14 - 5*1 = 14 - 5 = 9

Then, we have the pair: x = 1, y = 9.

Therefore, we have the table:

x -1 0 1

y 19 14 9

Thus, option A is correct.
