Question

Find an ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to the equation.

3x-y=3

Answer 1

Answer: The required ordered pair is (1, 0).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find an ordered pair (x, y) that is a solution to the following equation:

`3x-y=3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)`

To find an ordered pair, we should either take a value of x and find the corresponding value of y,

or,

we should take a value of y and find the corresponding value of x.

Let us consider that

x = 1.

Then, from equation (i), we get

`3* 1-y=3\\\\\Rightarrow 3-y=3\\\\\Rightarrow y=3-3\\\\\Rightarrow y=0.`

Thus, the required ordered pair is (1, 0).

Answer 2

There are a number of ordered pairs that will work for this.

One example is (1, 0).

We can see this will work by first selecting any value for x. We'll use the 1 that I gave.

3x - y = 3.

Now sub the value in.

3(1) - y = 3.

Multiply.

3 - y = 3.

Solve for y.

y = 0.

This gives you the ordered pair (1, 0).
