Start with the given equation

Let's test the first solution (-12,3):

Plug in and

Simplify. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this means (-12,3) is a solution to

-------Now lets test another solution-------

Let's test the second solution (3,0):

Plug in and

Simplify. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this means (3,0) is a solution to

-------Now lets test another solution-------

Let's test the third solution (-12,-3):

Plug in and

Simplify. Since the two sides of the equation are not equal, this means (-12,-3) is not a solution to

-------Now lets test another solution-------

Let's test the fourth solution (-22,5):

Plug in and

Simplify. Since the two sides of the equation are equal, this means (-22,5) is a solution to

Answer:
So the following ordered pairs are solutions to

(-12,3), (3,0), and (-22,5)
