Question

I'm really stuck on this problem, if someone can help me PLZ!!!:)

Which is a solution to the equation y = 2x – 5?

A.
(3, 11)

B.
(2, 1)

C.
(1, –3)

D.
(5, –5)

Answer 1

I tried all of them and they didn't seem to work, if you could explain how to do it right, that would be awesome!:)

Answer 2

A point will be a solution if the equation is true for the given values of x and y.
Each of the choices is an ordered pair, where the first number is the x value and the second is the y: (x,y).

What did you do to check each solution?

Answer 3

C

Answer 4

i guess i didnt do it right... cause i'm looking at what i'm spposed to do, and i think i did it wrong

Answer 5

what am i supposed to do?

Answer 6

Y=-3 and x=1 then -3=2*1-5

Answer 7

oh i thought it was Y=1 and X=-3 then 1=2*-3-5... i get it now, thank you for explaining that to me... i guess i could give you a medal in return for helping me? Is that fine?

Answer 8

For each of the choices, replace x in the original equation with the first value in the ordered pair.
Then, simplify the equation (multiply the new x by 2 and subtract 5), and see if it's equal to the second value in the ordered pair.

@ssssss Is it fine if i give you a medal?
