For the answer to the question above, <span>
5x3 (the hundreds digit)= 15
so 3+x+y=15. 15-3=12. x+y=12.
No even number + odd number can be = 12, so both digits must be odd.
That leaves us with 3+3+z=15, 3+3+x =15 and 3+5+y= 15. 3+1+9 (highest odd digit)= 13 so that is wrong.
3+3+9= 15, but there is a double digit, so wrong again. 3+5+7=15. 357 is the answer.</span>
What you would do is you would substitute each ordered pair into their respective variables. (ie. for (0,1) you would put 0 where the x is and 1 where the y is) You would then solve the equation. If the equation is not even (ie. 2=5 would not be even but 4=4 would be), you move on to the next ordered pair.
If you follow the process right and you get the equations correct, the answer should be B. (7,-2)
One is the amount you have, also its the numerator
