Question

Use the equation below and the indicated value to find an ordered pair that is a solution.

y = 3x - 2
Let x = 2
a) (2, 4)
b) (4, 6)
c) (5, 7)
d) (6, 8)

Answer 1

(a) (2, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation

y = 3x - 2 ← substitute x = 2 into the equation

y = 3(2) - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4

the solution is then the ordered pair (2, 4 )

Answer 2

The correct ordered pair solution to the equation y = 3x - 2 when x = 2 is (2, 4), which is option a) in the multiple choice answers provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation y = 3x - 2 when x = 2, we simply substitute the value of 2 for x into the equation. The calculation would be:

y = 3(2) - 2

y = 6 - 2

y = 4

Therefore, the ordered pair that is a solution to the equation when x = 2 is (2, 4), which corresponds to option a) (2, 4).
