Question

Which ordered pair is a solution of thisequation?8x + 7y = -50Click on the correct answer.(-6,-1)(0,-6)(-6,0)(-1,-6)

Answer 1

Given the equation:

8x + 7y = -50

We will check the options to find which order pair is the solution of the equation

Point (-6 , -1)

8 * -6 + 7 * -1 = -48 - 7 = -55 ≠ -50

Point ( 0 , -6)

8 * 0 + 7 * - 6 = -42 ≠ -50

Point (-6, 0 )

8 * - 6 + 7 * 0 = -48 ≠ -50

Point (-1 , -6)

8 * -1 + 7 * -6 = -8 - 42 = -50

so, the order pair which is a solution for the equation is (-1 , -6 )
