Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 2x − y = 9 (-4,1)

(-2,5)
(5,1)
(6,-3)

Answer 1

In order to confirm if which ordered pair is a solution of the given equation above, we can just simply plug in the values.
So based on my solution, the correct answer would be the third option: (5,1)
So let us try to plug in the values.
2(5) - 1 = 9
10 -1 = 9
9 = 9
So this is the correct one. Hope this answers your question.
