Q. Find an ordered pair that satisfies the equation 4x+y=6 by letting y=−2The ordered pair is □
Substitute y into equation: We are given the equation 4x+y=6 and we want to find an ordered pair (x,y) that satisfies this equation when y is set to −2.First, substitute y=−2 into the equation.4x+(−2)=6
Simplify by adding 2: Now, simplify the equation by adding 2 to both sides to isolate the term with x.4x−2+2=6+24x=8
Divide by 4: Next, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x.44x=48x=2
Form ordered pair: Now that we have found x=2 and we know y=−2, we can form the ordered pair (x,y).The ordered pair is (2,−2).
