Question

How do you complete 3x-2y=6, and the ordered pairs are (0, .. ) (2,..), and (..,3)?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

To calculate the other element in the ordered pair you have to substitute the element given:

• First element is `0` so you put it as `x`:

`3*color(red)(0)-2y=6`

`-2y=6`

`y=-3`

The pair is `(0,-3)`

• First element is `2`:

`3*color(red)(2)-2y=6`

`-2y=0`

`y=0`

The pair is `(2,0)`

• Second element is `3`, so you put it as `y`:

`3*x-2*color(red)(3)=6`

`3x-6=6`

`3x=12`

`x=4`

The pair is `(4,3)`
