Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation? y-3=5(x-2) A.) (2,3) B.) (3,2) C.) Both D.) Neither

Answer 1

Answer:

A is the only solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple way to solve it is to plug in the x and y values

For A, we plug in 2 for x and 3 for y

3-3=5(2-2)

0=5(0)

0=0

Ordered pair A is a solution

For B, plug in 3 for x and 2 for y

2-3=5(3-2)

-1=5(1)

-1 does not equal 5

Therefore only A is a solution
