The correct answer is B) The values x = 2 and y = 5 make the equation true.

This is because ordered pairs are in the form (x,y) which means that for the point (2,5), the number 2 is an x-value and the number 5 is a y-value. If you plug these numbers into the equation, you should end up with a true statement (both sides are equal to one another). However, these are not the only values that make the equation true because there typically exist many other points that would satisfy the same equation with different x and y values (this means that answer option C is incorrect). The other two options are also incorrect because we already established that 2 is an x-value and 5 is a y-value.

Hope this helps!
