You can't find THE ordered pair that satisfies

I can't find it, and neither can anyone else. That is because the set of ordered pairs that satisfy the given equation has an infinite number of elements -- in fact, uncountably infinite (unless you restrict the domain to something like the integers or the rationals).

If you need AN ordered pair that satisfies , just pick any value you like for , substitute that value in place of in the equation, and then do the arithmetic required to calculate the value of . Then your ordered pair will be (x,y) where is the value you picked and is the value you calculated.
