    The pair (0,3) is not a solution to the equation

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This can be proved by simply replacing the x and y variables in the equation by the x and y values of the pair, and checking if the equation renders a true statement:

    By replacing x and y with their values in the pair (0,3), that is x=0 and y=3, in the equation y = 5 - 2x we get:

    3 = 5 - 2 (0)

    3 = 5 - 0

    3 = 5

    which is NOT a true statement.

    On the other hand, the other two pairs (2,1) and (1,3) render true statements:

    1 = 5 - 2 (2)

    1 = 5 - 4

    1 = 1

    and

    3 = 5 - 2 (1)

    3 = 5 - 2

    3 = 3
