Question

Consider the following equation.x - 2y = 3Step 2 of 2: Determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pairso that it will satisfy the given equation.

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is given as,

$x-2y=3$

The objective is to find the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (?, 5/2).

Explanation:

Consider the given coordinate as,

$(x,y)=(x,\frac{5}{2})$

To find x :

Substitute the value of y in the given equation to find the missing term.

$\begin{gathered} x-2y=3 \\ x-2(\frac{5}{2})=3 \\ x-5=3 \\ x=3+5 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the missing term in the ordered pair is 8.
