Question

Find a solution to the linear equation y=6x−18 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.

Answer 1

`(x,y) = (1,-12)`

Explanation:

Given

`y = 6x - 18`

Required

Find a solution

To do this, we assume a value for x, then solve for y.

Let x = 1

Substitute 1 for x in
`y = 6x - 18`

`y = 6*1 - 18`

`y = 6 - 18`

`y= -12`

Hence, a solution is:

`(x,y) = (1,-12)`
