Question

7x – 2y = -5
Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation

Answer 1

The answer is neither. (X,Y) Plug them into the equation and neither is a solution to the equation.

Answer 2

D, neither.

Explanation:

If you substitute 1 in for x and 5 in for y, you will get 7-10=-5 and this is incorrect. If you substitute -1 in for x and 1 in for y, you will get -7-2=-5 and this is also incorrect. So the correct answer is D, neither. I hope this helps!
