Algebra.Com's Answer #37353 by rchill(405)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For each ordered pair, substitute the values of x and y into the equation to see if the statement is true. If the statement is true, then the ordered pair is a solution. \n" ); document.write( "(3,1): 3-1=4, which becomes 2=4, which is FALSE \n" ); document.write( "(0,-4): 0-(-4)=4, which becomes 4=4, which is TRUE \n" ); document.write( "(-4,0): -4-0=4, which becomes -4=4, which is FALSE \n" ); document.write( "(-3,-7): -3+7=4, which becomes 4=4, which is TRUE \n" ); document.write( "So, the ordered pairs that are solutions are (0,-4) and (-3,-7), or answer (C). \n" ); document.write( " |
