Just plug in the ordered pairs one by one to see if they make the equation true. If so, then they are a solution.
3u-2v%2B12=0Plug in (-6,8)
3%28-6%29-2%288%29%2B12=0
-18-16%2B12=0
-34%2B12=0
22=0 which is not true. So it is not a solution

3u-2v%2B12=0Plug in (-4,0)
3%28-4%29-2%280%29%2B12=0
-12-0%2B12=0
0=0 which is true. So it is a solution
3u-2v%2B12=0Plug in (18,25)
3%2818%29-2%2825%29%2B12=0
54-50%2B12=0
4%2B12=0
16=0 which is not true. So it is not a solution


3u-2v%2B12=0Plug in (27,41)
3%2827%29-2%2841%29%2B12=0
81-82%2B12=0
-1%2B12=0
11=0 which is not true. So it is not a solution

So the only solution is (-4,0)
