Explain the meaning of the ordered pair (3,18)?
-----
It has meaning in graphing; tells you a point is 3 to the
right of the vertical axis and 18 above the horizontal axis,
or it is the intersection point of two linear equations,
such as:
x = 3; y = 18
Therefor
2x = 6 and 3y = 54
OR
3x = 9 ; 5y = 90
Equation 1:: 2x + 3y = 60
Equation 2:: 3x + 5y = 99
(3,18) is the solution for this system (2 or more) of equations.
