To determine if the ordered pair (-1, 3) is the solution of the system, we replace the values of the x-component and y-component in x & y respectively in each function, that is:
[tex](3)=-7(-1)-4\Rightarrow3=3[/tex][tex]3=8(-1)+5\Rightarrow3\ne-3[/tex]From these solutions, we can see that the ordered pair (-1, 3) is no solution for the system of linear equations given.
