Substitute x=−4: Substitute x=−4 into the equation −3x−5y=2 and then simplify.Substitute −4 for x in −3x−5y=2.−3(−4)−5y=212−5y=2
Isolate variable term y: Isolate the variable term y.12−5y=2Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.12−5y−12=2−12−5y=−10
Solve for y: Solve for y.−5y=−10Divide both sides by −5.−5−5y=−5−10y=2
Find ordered pair solution: We found:x=−4y=2What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=−4 and y=2 into (x,y).The solution is (−4,2).
