Plug the ordered pair into EACH equation and if it true for BOTH equations then it is a solution to the system.
1 = -2(-2) -3
1 = 4 - 3
1 = 1 Checks

1 = -2 + 3
1 = 1 Checks
Since it works in both equations YES, it is a solution
There are more ways to determine if an ordered pair is a solution if you're interested in another way.

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim

Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

Given the following data:

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$
