This ordered pair is NOT a solution of the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, it is important to note that ordered pairs consist of (x, y) so in this case
x = 15 and y = -3. And that any variable directly next to a number calls for multiplication. So, plugging in the variables the equation would look like
"-3 = 5 x 15"
To see if 5 x 15 = -3 we will multiply them. 5 x 15 actually equals 75 not -3. So we know this ordered pair is NOT the solution for the problem.
To solve divide both sides by 4 to cancel out the 4 on the x side to get x alone. Then just do -10/4. That gives you 2.5 so (X=2.5). Hope I helped and have a great day and night
