Answer:

(8, 63)

Explanation:

The ordered pair is a solution to the equation when substituting the values for x and y make the equation a true statement.

If we let x represent the first number of the ordered pair, it will be a solution when ...

63 = 9x -9

7 = x -1 . . . . . . . divide by 9

8 = x . . . . . . . add 1

The blank gets filled with 8, so the ordered pair is (8, 63).
