Question

Find the ordered pair whose x-coordinate is 5. 4x=6y+8

Answer 1

plug in 5

4(5)=6y+8

20=6y+8

12=6y

2=y

(5,2)

Answer 2

(6, 2 )

substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y

6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = $\frac{12}{6}$ = 2

the ordered pair is (5, 2 )
