(?, 6) is on 2x - 7y = 0

Let ? be replaced with t for (?, 6) ? = t, y = 6

2x - 7y = 0

2*t - 7*6 = 0

2t = 42

t = 42/2

t = 21

the other coordinate is t = 21, so point is (21,6).

If we plug the given value of y = 6 into the equation, we get:

2x-7*6=0
which can be rearranged to
2x = 42
giving x = 21.
Therefore the other half of the coordinate is 21.
