Exercise 6 Page 417

Substitute the ordered pair into the given equation and simplify.

No

In an ordered pair, the first coordinate corresponds to the x- value and second to the y- value. ( 3, 15) ⇕ x = 3, y = 15 We can determine whether (3,15) is a solution by substituting it into the equation and simplifying. Let's substitute 3 for x and 15 for y.
y = 3x + 5
15 ? = 3 * 3 + 5
15 ? = 9 + 5
15 = 14 *
We got a false statement. This means that the ordered pair (3,15) is not a solution of the equation.
