Answer:

(1, 8)

many possible answers

Explanation:

to find an ordered pair to satisfy the equation means to find x and y to make the equation true

we can start off by putting x as 1

3(1) + y = 11

3 + y = 11

then subtract 3 to both sides

y = 8

you must put them in (x, y) form

so

(1, 8) is one of many possible answers
