All right, so here we need to determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution for the given system of equation.
00:08
So the first thing we need to remember is that in order for a point to be considered a solution for a system of equation, it means that these two values will prove to be true as valid x and y coordinates for both of these equations.
00:24
So the process on how to verify this is that you pick either x or y.
00:31
A difference which one you pick either x and y and you plug it into both equations and in order for this to be a valid solution both equations must prove to be true in other words you should be getting the the corresponding y value as your result so let's take a look at that let's suppose that we're going to substitute x and we're going to do that in both equations but we're going to do one at a time let's go ahead and gather this equation first.
01:00
We have x plus y equals to negative one.
01:04
We're going to substitute this value of x with the two from the given point.
01:10
So two plus y equals to negative one.
01:13
Our goal is to solve for y, and the answer that we get for y should match the corresponding y value of the given point, which in this case is negative three.
01:24
So we're going to go ahead and solve for y here...
