Question 798767: I am totaly lost on solving orderd pair, I know how to graph once i find the answer but have no idea where to begin. My teacher said you could plug in any numbers but doesnt it still have to equal the sum.

6y=4x-14
/2
3y=2x-7
/3
y=(2/3)x-(7/3)
Plug
x=3 , y=(-1/3), (3,(-1/3))
x=6, y=(5/3) ,(6,(5/3))
x=-3, (-13/3) (-3,(-13/3))
Rather difficult
plot these points

Your teacher is correct. You have a linear equation in two variables. You can plug in any value for one variable and solve for the value of the other variable.

"Where to begin..." -------
PICK ANY VALUE FOR ONE OF THE VARIABLES!
SOLVE FOR THE OTHER VARIABLE!

Your given equation is . I suggest you simplify this, seeing that all coefficients are EVEN numbers.

You will find convenient solving for either variable, NOW!

In this formula, choose a value for x and compute the corresponding value for y. Doing so gives you a point, an ordered pair, (x,y).

6y=4x-14

2(3y) = 2(2x - 7) ----- Factoring out GCF, 2

3y = 2x - 7

To find ordered pairs without being too "messy," use the following x-values and determine the corresponding y-value:

x = 5

x = 11

x = 17

x = 23

Using the ordered pairs, plot the graph of the linear equation.
