Question

Is (-4, 2) a solution of 3y - 2x = 14?

Answer 1

Answer: I don’t know if this will help, but I do know that the function for that equation is -7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Plug in the values for x and y into the equation.

3(2) - 2(-4) = 14

Simplify

6 - (-8) = 14

Minus a negative means plus a positive.

6 + (+8) = 14.

Since this is true, the ordered pair (-4,2) works.
