Answer:Let’s determine if each ordered pair is a solution to the equation ( x + 3y = 8 ):Step-by-step explanation:For (2, 2): [ 2 + 3(2) = 2 + 6 = 8 \quad \text{(TRUE)} ]For (-1, 3): [ -1 + 3(3) = -1 + 9 = 8 \quad \text{(TRUE)} ]For (-2, -2): [ -2 + 3(-2) = -2 - 6 = -8 \quad \text{(FALSE)} ]So, the answers are:a) (2, 2) - TRUEb) (-1, 3) - TRUEc) (-2, -2) - FALSE
