Question

How do I find the ordered pair that is the solution to these equations.

3x - 2y = 8
2x + 5y = -1

Answer 1

You could plot them into a graphing calculator or solve them :p I'd use desmos, its a lot faster

Answer 2

Where they intersect is the solution.

Answer 3

3(2) - 2(-1) = 6 + 2 = 8

8 = 8 <-- so this works for the first equation

2(2) + 5(-1) = 4 - 5 = -1

-1 = -1 <-- also works.
