Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution
(-8,3);8x+y,-2
To determine whether the ordered pair (-8,3) is a solution to the equation 8x + y = -2, we need to substitute the values of x and y from the ordered pair into the equation and check if the equation holds true.
Let's substitute x = -8 and y = 3 into the equation:
8(-8) + 3 = -2
Simplifying the equation, we have:
-64 + 3 = -2
-61 ≠ -2
Since -61 is not equal to -2, the equation 8x + y = -2 does not hold true for the ordered pair (-8,3). Therefore, (-8,3) is not a solution to the equation.
