Answer:

(7, 7)

Explanation:

We are given the formula 7(x, y) = (x+5, y+4) for a pair of coordinates (x,y).

P is given as the coordinates: (2, 3), therefore if we substitute P into the equation, we can replace x and y in the given equation for the coordinates of P (2,3).

P is given as (2,3), so 7(P) = 7(2,3).

Using the given formula:

7(2,3) = (2+5, 3+4)

2+5 = 7, 3+4 = 7

Therefore 7(P) = (7, 7)

Hope this helped!
