Question

consider the Following equation. 4x-3y=2 Determine the missing coordinate in the orderd pair (5,?) so that it will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

Given the equation:

4x - 3y = 2

We are asked to find the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (5, ?) that can satisfy the given equation.

4x - 3y = 2

recall we have (5, ?)

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 in the given equation:

4(5) - 3y = 2

20 - 3y = 2

20 - 2 = 3y

3y = 18

Divide both sides by 3

y = 18/3

y = 2G6

Therefore, the missing coordinate is 6

So we have: (5, 6).

Lets check:

4(5) - 3(6) = 2

20 - 18 = 2

2 = 2
