Answer:

The ordered pair is a solution

Explanation:

5x - 4y > 20

Our point is (5,0) in the format of (x, y)

This makes 5 equal to "x", and 0 equal to "y"

Now you plug it in

5(5) - 4(0) > 20

Now multiply/simplify

25 - 0 > 20

25 > 20

This statement is true, meaning the ordered pair is a solution to the equation.
