The given equation is 5x - y = 3. We need to find an ordered pair that satisfies the equation. Here we go
5x - y = 3
=> 5x = 3+y
=> x+=+%283%2By%29%2F5
Let us take the value of y to be 0. The ordered pair can be formed if we can find the corresponding value of x which satisfies the equation.
Substituting y = 0 in the above equation we get
x+=+%283%2By%29%2F5
=> x+=+%283%2B0%29%2F5
=> x+=+3%2F5
Thus one of the ordered pairs satisfying the given equation is (3/5, 0).
