Question 229163
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


You can't find THE ordered pair that satisfies *[tex \LARGE -2y = 14x + 1]


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 *[tex \LARGE -2y = 14x + 1], just pick any value you like for *[tex \LARGE x], substitute that value in place of *[tex \LARGE x] in the equation, and then do the arithmetic required to calculate the value of *[tex \LARGE y].  Then your ordered pair will be (x,y) where *[tex \LARGE x] is the value you picked and *[tex \LARGE y] is the value you calculated.
