Well, let's see. The problem gave you an ordered pair. In other words, you have an 'x' and a 'y' coordinate. All you need to do is put them into the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that instead of --
-3x - 3y = 125 + 5y = -20
We would have:
-3(-5)-3(-5) = 125(-5) + 5(-5) = -20
From here, you just simplify it into:
30 = -650 = -20
Since the values are not the same, the ANSWER is NO. The ordered pair does not satisfy the following system of equations.
Each X and Y in the equations don't have a number in front of them so they are all considered 1.
D = 1*(-1) - 1*(-1) = -1 -1 = -2
The answer is -2
