Please help me answer this question

Answer 1

To determine if the ordered pair (3 , -2) is a solution to 4x = 3y + 18,

plug in the point into the equation.

4x = 3y + 18    (Plug in 3 for "x", and plug in -2 for "y")

4(3) = 3(-2) + 18

12 = -6 + 18

12 = 12

This is a solution because in the end, the number is the same on both sides
