so all you have to do is plug in the x value and if the y value comes out to be whatever is matches up with then it is a solution to the equation for example if you plug in 0 to y=-2x+5 then you get 5 and below it says that when x=0 then y=5 which is true so that would be an answer now if you plug in 2 then you get 1 and it says that when x=2 y=9 which is not correct. sorry if this doesnt make sense its so hard to explain virtually
