For the equation x+5y=50,
find the missing value in the following ordered pair: (−10, ? )
To find the missing value in the ordered pair (-10, ?) for the equation x + 5y = 50, you need to substitute the given value of x into the equation and solve for y.
Substituting x = -10 into the equation:
-10 + 5y = 50
Next, isolate the variable y by subtracting -10 from both sides of the equation:
5y = 50 + 10
5y = 60
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for y:
y = 60/5
y = 12
Therefore, the missing value in the ordered pair (-10, ?) is 12.
