Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (- 2, - 5) is a solution to the equation.

Substitute x = - 2 into the right side of the equation and if the value obtained is equal to the y- coordinate of the point then it is a solution.

y = - 2 - 3 = - 5 ← hence (- 2, - 5) is a solution to the equation

No because (-2, -5) is negative and the y coordinate needs to be positive.

let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then take it from there, keeping in mind that the whole is "x".

$\stackrel{mixed}{5\frac{5}{6}}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 6+5}{6}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{35}{6}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{3}x~~ = ~~5\frac{5}{6}\implies \cfrac{7}{3}x~~ = ~~\cfrac{35}{6}\implies 42x=105\implies x=\cfrac{105}{42} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{21\cdot 5}{21\cdot 2}\implies x=\cfrac{21}{21}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=1\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=2\frac{1}{2}$
