To find a point that represents a solution for the equation x + 3y = 8, we need to find a point (x,y) that satisfies this equation. One way to do this is to choose a value for x, and then solve for y. For example, if we let x = 2, we have:
2 + 3y = 8
Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:
3y = 6
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
y = 2
So the point (2,2) is a solution for the equation x + 3y = 8. To check, we can substitute x = 2 and y = 2 into the equation:
2 + 3(2) = 8
8 = 8
This is true, so (2,2) is a solution for the equation.
Alternatively, we could choose a value for y and solve for x. For example, if we let y = 0, we have:
x + 3(0) = 8
x = 8
So the point (8,0) is also a solution for the equation x + 3y = 8.
