Question

Find an ordered pair (x, y) that is a solution to the equation. x-6y=6 (x, y) = (6,- 1) 8 X 5 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to the equation is;

$(x,y)=(0,-1)$

Explanation:

We want to find an ordered pair that is a solution to the given equation;

$x-6y=6$

Let us find the corresponding value of y at x=0;

$\begin{gathered} x-6y=6 \\ 0-6y=6 \\ -6y=6 \\ \frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{6}{-6} \\ y=-1 \end{gathered}$

So, at x=0, y= -1.

The ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to the equation is;

$(x,y)=(0,-1)$
