#(3,-3) # is a solution to #6x-5y#

Given ordered pair #->(x,y)->(3,-3)#

If you substitute these values and the left hand side =33 then they are a solution.

Consider the left hand side (LHS)

#6x-5y#

By substitution we have

#color(brown)(6x-5y)color(blue)(" "->" "6(3) -5(-3)#

Giving

#18+15=33#

So left hand side = right hand side, so they are a solution
