Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation y=x-3?

A) (-2,5)
B) (-5,2)
C) (2,5)
D) (5,2)

Answer 1

The points are given as (x, y)

So plug in each choices x and y values into y=x-3 and see if it's correct.

Answer 2

Okay so I think it's 2,5

Answer 3

Am I wrong??

Answer 4

plug in x=2 and y=5 into y=x-3 and what do you get?

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

There should be an equals sign in the middle

Show all your work.

Answer 7

Nevermind, it's not 2

Answer 8

2 = 5 + -3

5 + -3 = 2
2 = 2

2 + -2 = 2 + -2

2 + -2 = 0
0 = 2 + -2

2 + -2 = 0
0 = 0
so zero

Answer 9

Wait

Answer 10

I did my own equation wrong?? I added a plus sign

Answer 11

Which point are you doing? Remember the points are (x, y). x first, y second.

Answer 12

And you don't solve the equation.

2 = 5 + -3

5 + -3 = 2
2 = 2

Is that true or false? Is 2 equal to 2?

Answer 13

True

Answer 14

But again I don't know which point you were doing

Answer 15

I am so lost omg I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm just going to start over and take your initial advice because I have no idea where I veered off

Answer 16

Start with the first point. Plug it into the equation.

Answer 17

I think now it's D, 5,2

Answer 18

To be sure:
plug in x=5, y=2
y=x-3
2 = 5-3

Is that true?

Answer 19

Yes

Answer 20

Yes.
