Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 4x - 2y = 16?

Answer 1

Answer 2

a. (-5, -3)
b. (-5, 3)
c. (6, -4)
d. (6, 4)

Answer 3

Okay plug those in for x, and y and see which one makes the equation true.

Answer 4

Take each one and plug them in to see if it is true. I will do a
a. (-5, -3)
4x - 2y = 16

4(-5) - 2(-3) = 16
-20 - 2(-3) = 16
-20 - 6 = 16
-25=16 This is not true so it is not our answer. Can you do the rest to find the answer?
