Please help me determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given linear equation.
Answer provided by our tutors
The equation is 7x+y=-51.
Please provide info for the ordered pair?
We will check weather to ordered pair (-4, -8) is solution for 7x+y=-51.
Plug x = -4 and y=-8 into 7x+y=-51
7*(-4) + (-8) = -51
-28 - 8 = -51
-36 = -51 is a false statement so the ordered pair (-4, -8) is not solution for 7x+y=-51
