Answer 1

They are asking if (-2,2) satisfy the given equations.
You can find out if the do by substituting them into the equations and finding out if you get a true statement.
4(-2)+2=?=-6
3(-2)+4(2)=?=2

Answer 2

gotcha, I remember now, thanks!

Answer 3

Just remember a solution of something gives a true statement.
