Answer:

Explanation:

"Which ordered pair" implies that there were several answer choices for this problem. It's important that you share such answer choices.

2x+4y=6x−y reduces to 5y = 8x, and so y = (8/5)x

If we choose x = 2, then y = (8/5)(2) = 16/5 is a solution of the given equation. There are an infinite number of such solutions. All lie on the line y = (8/5)x.
