Using substitution, tell whether the ordered pair is a solution to the equation:
y=5x;(15,-3)
y=5(-3)=-15
(15,-3) not a solution
Thank u
5*15 does not work either :)
To determine whether the ordered pair (15, -3) is a solution to the equation y = 5x, you need to substitute the values of x and y into the equation and see if the equation holds true.
Let's substitute x = 15 and y = -3 into the equation y = 5x:
-3 = 5 * 15
Now, let's perform the multiplication:
-3 = 75
Since -3 is not equal to 75, the equation does not hold true. Therefore, the ordered pair (15, -3) is not a solution to the equation y = 5x.
