Which ordered pairs in the form (x, y)(x, y) are solutions to the equation 7x−5y=28 ? Select each correct answer. (−6, −14) (−1, −7) (4, 10) (7, 9)

OpenStudy (diamond77108):

Im not sure what y equals

OpenStudy (mecharv):

Try and substitute each values in the equation like I showed for two in the previous question. Try.

OpenStudy (mecharv):

(x,y) The first number in the ordered pair is x the next is y. For example Compare (4,5) to (x,y) 4 is x and 5 is y

OpenStudy (diamond77108):

(-1,-7) is an answer

OpenStudy (mecharv):

Yep that is correct. Way to go :)

OpenStudy (diamond77108):

is that the only one cuz the others don't equal 28 when i did it

OpenStudy (diamond77108):

wait i re-did (-6,-14) that is a answer

OpenStudy (mecharv):

My bad it says each correct

OpenStudy (mecharv):

Both the options are correct

OpenStudy (diamond77108):

ok but with (4,10) i get -22 and with (7,9) i get 4

OpenStudy (mecharv):

The other two are wrong/

OpenStudy (diamond77108):
