Hi,

*Note: "ordered pair"(x,y) represents the x value and corresponding y value that satisfys the equation given.



3x-6=2y 

(3/2)x - 3 = y

If x is 8, what point (ordered pair), satisfies the equation?

substituting x = 8 into the equation

(3/2)x - 3 = y

(3/2)8 - 3 =12-3 = 9

ordered pair (8,9) satisfys the equation
