Question

Write any two solutions for the equation $x-2y=5$

Answer 1

$x-2y=5$

We need $2$ solutions for $x-2y=5$

Put $x=1$ we get

$1-2y=5$

$\Rightarrow 2y=-4$

$\Rightarrow y=-2$

$\therefore (1,-2)$ is a solution.

Put $x=3$

we get

$3-2y=5$

$\Rightarrow 2y=-2$

$\Rightarrow y=-1$

$\therefore (3,-1)$ is also a solution.

$\therefore$ Two of the solution for $x-2y=5$ can be $(1,-2)$ and $(3,-1)$.
