Answer:

Yes, (3, 17) is a solution.

Explanation:

In an ordered pair the first variable is x, and the second is y (x, y), so we can take the x and y of the given point and put it into our equation.

y=3x+8

we replace y with our given y (17)

and our x with our given x (3)

17=3(3)+8

now solve

17=9+8

17=17

Both sides are equal so yes, (3, 17) is a solution.

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!
