Question

2x+3y=122, x, plus, 3, y, equals, 12 complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. ((left parenthesis ,8),8)comma, 8, right parenthesis.

Answer 1

(-6, 8)

Explanation:

You want the missing value in the coordinate pair (__, 8) that identifies a point on the line 2x +3y = 12.

Find x

Using y = 8, the equation becomes ...

2x +3(8) = 12

2x = -12 . . . . . . . . . subtract 24

x = -6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The missing coordinate is -6, so the solution of interest is (-6, 8).
