Answer:

(12,1)

Explanation:

Infinite combinations can work here, but basically this question is asking to find a number that subtracted by 3 times the value of something equal 9. Those two values formed into an ordered pair, (x,y), will be the answer.

In this case, 12 being x can be subtracted by 3 and 1 (y value) and they equal nine.
