Question

-3x-7y=37 which ordered pair is a solution to this equation

Answer 1

In this item, we are not given with the choices for the ordered pair which could be the solution to the given equation. What can be done is to assume a value for one of the variables and solve for the other. To be able to find one that satisfies let x be equal to zero and substitute to the given equation.

    -3(0) - 7y = 37

Simplifying,
  
    -0 - 7y = 37

The value of y from the equation is 37/7. Thus, one of the ordered pairs that satisfies the equation is,

   (0, 37/7)

Answer 2

The correct ordered pair would be (2, 1) for the opposite equation 3x + 7y = 13
