Answer:

I can help you with the linear equation. Here are the steps and the results:

To complete each ordered pair, we need to substitute the given value of x or y into the equation and solve for the missing value. For example, for the first ordered pair (,-3), we have:

x - 2(-3) = -2 x + 6 = -2 x = -8

So the first ordered pair is (-8,-3).

For the second ordered pair (-12,), we have:

-12 - 2y = -2 -2y = 10 y = -5

So the second ordered pair is (-12,-5).

To check if the ordered pairs are solutions of the equation, we can plug them back into the equation and see if they satisfy it. For example, for the first ordered pair (-8,-3), we have:

-8 - 2(-3) = -2 -8 + 6 = -2 -2 = -2

This is true, so (-8,-3) is a solution of the equation. Similarly, we can check that (-12,-5) is also a solution of the equation.

I hope this helps you understand how to complete and check ordered pairs for a linear equation. If you have any questions, please let me know.
