Which ordered pair is a solution of the equation 2x - y = 9 (-4,1)

(-2,5)

(5,1)

(6,-3)

It is (5,1)

if you plug each ordered pair into the equation you would find that:

2 (-4) - 1 = - 9 ≠ 9

2 (-2) - 5 = - 9 ≠ 9

2 (5) - 1 = 9 = 9

2 (6) - (-3) = 15 ≠9

In order to confirm if which ordered pair is a solution of the given equation above, we can just simply plug in the values.

So based on my solution, the correct answer would be the third option: (5,1)

So let us try to plug in the values.

2 (5) - 1 = 9

10 - 1 = 9

9 = 9

So this is the correct one. Hope this answers your question.
