Determine the two ordered pair solutions of the equation x-y=-3 given (0,) and (-5)

Question

Determine the two ordered pair solutions of the equation x-y=-3 given (0,) and (-5) need to use the table of values

Answer 1

As Mark pointed out in his Comment, we need to know if the given number is x or y.  I will assume it is x.

 

x - y = -3

 

If x = 0, then

 

0 - y = -3

y = 3

 

The ordered pair is (0,3).

 

If x = -5, then

 

-5 - y = -3

 

y = -5 + 3 = -2

 

The ordered pair is (-5,-2).
