Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of this equation? 5(x - 2) = 12 - y

Answer 1

Step 1

5( x - 2 ) = 12 - y

5x - 10 = 12 - y

y = -5x + 12 + 10

y = -5x + 22

Step 2

Substitute each option

Option C is the correct answer.

Check

( 4 , 2) x = 4

y = -5x + 22

y = -5(4) + 22

y = -20 + 22

y = 2

Hence, (4,2) is the solution to the equation.
