Algebra.Com's Answer #76488 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which of the ordered pairs \n" ); document.write( "(0, 0), (–2, 10), (–1, –5), (–3, 9) \n" ); document.write( "are solutions for the equation y = 5x? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "you can do this, not at all hard. The 1st value in the pair is x, the 2nd is y \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Take the pair (0,0), substitute 0 for x in the equation \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x \n" ); document.write( "y = 5(0) \n" ); document.write( "y = 0, so (0,0) is a solution: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The next pair: (-2,10), substitute -2 for x in the same equation \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x \n" ); document.write( "y = 5(-2) \n" ); document.write( "y = -10, not +10 so it is not a solution \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The next pair (-1,-5) \n" ); document.write( "y = 5(-1) \n" ); document.write( "y = -5, so this is a solution \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The next pair (-3,9) \n" ); document.write( "y = 5(-3) \n" ); document.write( "y = -15 so this is not a solution \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "How about this, can you do this now? \n" ); document.write( " |
