Question

find the x - value when y = 4 for this equation: x + 3y = 36. you just found that when y = 4, x must equal 24 to make the equation true. write the ordered pair that represents this solution. x + 3y = 36 x = 24 (□,□)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute y=4 into equation

$x + 3(4) = 36$

Step2: Simplify and solve for x

$x + 12 = 36$
$x = 36 - 12 = 24$

Step3: Form ordered pair (x,y)

Use x=24 and y=4

Answer:

(24, 4)
