Answer (2)

((-5)+3)(-7) = 14 (-2)(-7) = 14 14 = 14 True **A is a solution. **
((-1)+3)(7) = 14 (2)(7) = 14 14 = 14 True **B is a solution. **
((10)+3)(-2) = 14 (13)(-2) = 14 -26 = 14 False **C is not a solution. **
((11)+3)(1) = 14 (14)(1) = 14 14 = 14 True D is a solution.

The ordered pairs that are solutions to the equation ( x + 3 ) y = 14 are A ((-5, -7)), B ((-1, 7)), and D ((11, 1)). C ((10, -2)) is not a solution. Substituting each pair into the equation verifies this.
