In this item, we are not given with the choices for the ordered pair which could be the solution to the given equation. What can be done is to assume a value for one of the variables and solve for the other. To be able to find one that satisfies let x be equal to zero and substitute to the given equation.
-3(0) - 7y = 37
Simplifying,
-0 - 7y = 37
The value of y from the equation is 37/7. Thus, one of the ordered pairs that satisfies the equation is,
(0, 37/7)
Here's what i did:
I broke down the fraction entirely.
3 / 5 = 6 / 10
divide 6 by two and divide 18 by two. This makes 3 / 10 = 9.
divide 3 by three and 9 by three, making 1 / 10 = 3.
if you need 7 / 10 of the number (30) then do 3*7.
The answer is 21.
