Answer:
Yes, (2, -1) is a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 2 for x and -1 in for y and see if it is a true statement.
2x - y = 5
2(2) - (-1) = 5
4 - (-1) = 5 Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number
4 + 1 = 5
5 = 5 Since this statement is true, (2,-1) is a solution.
