Plug these values in to get: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Now compute the left side to get 3(8)-7(-5)=24+35=59. Since <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"3%288%29-7%28-5%29=59\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > is indeed correct, this verifies that (8, -5) is a solution to 3x - 7y = 59 </SPAN>\n" );
