Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Substitute $ x = \frac{4}{9} $ and $ y = -5 $ into both equations. For the first equation: $ 36(\frac{4}{9}) + 5(-5) = 16 - 25 = -9 $, which is correct. For the second equation: $ -27(\frac{4}{9}) - 4(-5) = -12 + 20 = 8 $, which is incorrect. Therefore, the ordered pair is not a solution.
