Select all the ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation 5x + 2y = - 8

Question options:

(4, - 14)

(0, - 4)

(-4, 0)

(1, - 2)

(-85,0)

The answer to your question is only (0, - 4) is a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

5x + 2y = - 8

Process

1) Substitute all the possible solutions in the equations to find the answer

a) (4, 14)

5 (4) + 2 (14) = - 8

20 + 28 = - 8

48 = - 8 This is not a solution

b)

5 (0) + 2 (-4) = - 8

0 - 8 = - 8 This is a solution

c)

5 (-4) + 2 (0) = - 8

-20 + 0 = - 8

-20 = - 8 This is not a solution

d)

5 (1) + 2 (-2) = - 8

5 + - 4 = 8

1 = 8 This is not a solution

e)

5 (-85) + 2 (0) = - 8

-425 + 0 = - 8

-425 = - 8 This is not a solution
