Question

Consider the following equation.

x+2y=4
Step 2 of 2 : Determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (?,12) so that it will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

X= -20

Substitute the value of y, which is 12, into the equation and solve for x.

X+2y=4
X+2(12)=4
X+24=4
-24 -24
——————
X=-20
