Question

Find an ordered pair (x, y) that is a solution to the equation. 3x-y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

(2,1) is an example of an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

$3x - y = 5$

Finding a solution:

To find an ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to this equation, first we attribute a value to one of the variables, and then replace in the equation and find the other.

I am going to attribute $y = 1$

So

$3x - y = 5$

$3x - 1 = 5$

$3x = 6$

$x = \frac{6}{3}$

$x = 2$

(2,1) is an example of an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.
