You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are more than 3 ordered pairs. In fact, there are an infinite number of ordered pairs that satisfy the equation. I will show you how to find some, at will.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, solve the equation for y:
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 3x - 4
\n" ); document.write( " y = (3/2)x - 2
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pick a value for x, plug it in on the right hand side and calculate, that's y. The ordered pair (x,y) is an satisfies the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "————————
\n" ); document.write( "Examples:
\n" ); document.write( "x=0 —> y = (3/2)(0) - 2 = -2 —> (0,-2) is an ordered pair that satisfies the equation
\n" ); document.write( "x=1 —> y = (3/2)(1) - 2 = -1/2 —> (1, -1/2) is another
\n" ); document.write( "x=2 —> y = (3/2)(2) - 2 = 1 —> (2, 1) is a third\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can pick any value of x that you want:
\n" ); document.write( "x=-10 —> y = (3/2)(-10) - 2 = -17 —> (-10, -17) is a fourth\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "etc.\r
