Let's say you have the equation
5x + 3y = 11
You are asked to test the ordered pair (1, 2) to see if it is a solution of the equation. A solution of the equation will make the equation a true statement. The ordered pair (1, 2) has 1 as its x-coordinate and 2 as its y-coordinate.
Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y in the equation. Then work it out to see if it is a true statement.
5x + 3y = 11
5(1) + 3(2) = 11
5 + 6 = 11
11 = 11
Since 11 = 11 is a true statement, the ordered pair (1, 3) is a solution of the equation.
3(2x+8)=8x+46
6x+24=8x+46
-2x+24=46
-2x=22
x=-11
3(2(-11)+8)=8(-11)+46
3(-22+8)=-88+46
3(-14)=-42
-42=-42
Hope I didn't mess up for your sake
The answer is y equals 0.85 x. Hope this help you
