Question

x + 5y = 12Step 2 of 2: Determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (?, -2) so that it will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

given the equation:

x + 5y = 12

given the ordered pair (?, -2)

recall that,

A coordinate is (x, y)

that means from the ordered pairs given,

y = -2

x = ?

let's substitite y = -2 into the given equation

x + 5y = 12

x + 5(-2) = 12

x - 10 = 12

collecting like terms

x = 12 + 10

x = 22

therefore, the coordinate that will satisfy the given eq
