Is this ordered pair a solution to the system of linear equations? Yes or no and why or why not?

Answer:
Yes, it is a solution
Step-by-step explanation:
9x+7y=-11
-2x-5y=30
substitute 5 for x and -8 for y and test:
9(5)+7(-8)=-11
45-56=-11 , this is true
-2(5)-5(-8)=30
-10+40=30 , this is true also
