Step 2.1

Multiply $17$ by $1$ .

$0 = 17 - 17$

Step 2.2

Subtract $17$ from $17$ .

$0 = 0$

Step 3

Since $0 = 0$ , the equation will always be true.

Always true

Step 4

Since the equation is always true when the values are used, the ordered pair is a solution.

The ordered pair is a solution to the equation.
