Determine whether the given ordered pair is a solution of the equation.
-$$2 x + 5 y = 29 ; ( 2,5 )$$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To check if the given ordered pair is a solution of the equation, we substitute the values of $x$ and $y$ into the equation and see if it is true.

$2(2) + 5(5) = 4 + 25 = 29$

Since the left side of the equation equals the right side of the equation when $x = 2$ and $y = 5$, we can conclude that the ordered pair $(2,5)$ is a solution of the equation. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{	ext{(B)}}$.
