Question

Is the ordered pair (-8,-7) a soulution to the equation 3x+10=2y

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (- 8, - 7 ) is a solution to the equation

Substitute the values of x and y into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is a solution.

left side : 3(- 8) + 10 = - 24 + 10 = - 14

right side : 2y = 2(- 7) = - 14

Since both sides are - 14 then (- 8, - 7 ) is a solution to the equation.
