(7,19) is a solution for only the first equation (2x-y = - 5), so it is not a solution to the system.

2x-y=-5 we substitute the x and y for 7, and 19 making the equation 2 x 7-19, 2 x 7 is 14 so we then put the 14 and 19 together, 14-19, and 14-19 is equal to - 5 so the first equation is true. For the second equation which is x+3y=22 we do the same thing as the first equation, we substitute x and y for 7, and 19, substituting these numbers in we get 7+3 x 19, 3 x 19 is 57, so 7+57, which equals 64 and is no where near 22. So, the ordered pair (7,19) is a solution to the first equation because, it makes the first equation true, and the ordered pair (7,19) is not a solution to the system because, it makes at least one of the equations false.
