The given inequality is expressed as

3x - 7 > y

The required solution is (x, 8)

We would substitute y = 8 into the inequality to find possible values of x that would satisfy the inequality. We have

3x - 7 > 8

Adding 7 to both sides of the inequality, we have

3x - 7 + 7 > 8 + 7

3x > 15

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 3, we have

3x/3 > 15/3

x > 5

The required values of x must be greater than 5. Thus,

one possible missing coordinate is x = 6
