Step 2.1.1

Multiply $6$ by $5$ .

$30 + 2 (8) = 88$

Step 2.1.2

Multiply $2$ by $8$ .

$30 + 16 = 88$

Step 2.2

Add $30$ and $16$ .

$46 = 88$

Step 3

Since $46 \neq 88$ , there are no solutions.

No solution

Step 4

Since the equation is not true when the values are used, the ordered pair is not a solution.

The ordered pair is not a solution to the equation.
