Answer:


(4,7)

Explanation:

Given


2x - 3 < y


(x,7)

Required

Find one possible value of x

From the given parameters;


(x,7) is a possible solution of
2x - 3 < y where y= 7

Substitute 7 for y


2x - 3 < 7

Add 3 to both sides


2x - 3 + 3 < 7 + 3


2x < 10

Divide both sides by 2


2x/2 < 10/2


x < 5

The result of the inequality implies that x is less than 5; So, the possible values of x is all real numbers less than 5;

Having said that;


(4,7) is one possible coordinate of
2x - 3 < y
