Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Ordered Pair
An ordered pair consists of two elements, typically represented as (x, y), where 'x' is the first element and 'y' is the second. In the context of a coordinate system, it indicates a specific point on a graph. For example, the ordered pair (2, 3) represents the point where x equals 2 and y equals 3.

System of Equations
A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables. The solution to the system is the set of values that satisfy all equations simultaneously. In this case, the system consists of the equations x + 3y = 11 and x - 5y = -13, and we need to determine if the ordered pair (2, 3) satisfies both equations.

Substitution Method
The substitution method involves replacing one variable with an expression derived from another equation in the system. To check if (2, 3) is a solution, we substitute x = 2 and y = 3 into both equations. If both equations hold true after substitution, then the ordered pair is indeed a solution to the system.
