Question

Find an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.

3x - y = 8

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are so many order pairs that can solve this equation.

To solve this problem, we choose any value of x and find y;

Given expression;

3x - y = 8

if x = 0,

3(0) - y = 8

-y = 8

y = -8;

(0,-8) is a solution

ii.

if x = 1,

3(1) - y = 8

- y = 8 - 3

y = -5

(1, -5) is a solution
