Equations

We are given the equation:

4x - 2y = 11

And it's required to find the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (-3, ?).

The first coordinate is x=-3, thus we need to calculate the y-coordinate by solving the equation for y, using the value of x.

Substituting:

4(-3) - 2y = 11

Operating:

-12 - 2y = 11

Adding 12:

-2y = 23

Dividing by -2:

y = 23/(-2)

y = -23/2

The ordered pair is:


(-3,-(23)/(2))
