Complete the ordered pair (15, ) for the equation x - 5y = -25
This is quite straightforwatrd.
x is 15, so
15 - 5*y = -25
so what is y?
If x = 15, substitute that value in the equation and solve for y.
To find the missing value in the ordered pair (15, ), we need to substitute the given x-coordinate, 15, into the equation x - 5y = -25.
Let's plug in x = 15:
15 - 5y = -25
Now, we can solve for y:
-5y = -25 - 15
-5y = -40
Divide both sides of the equation by -5:
y = -40 / -5
y = 8
Therefore, the complete ordered pair is (15, 8).
