Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions x=y+5

$x = y + 5$

Step 1

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $y + 5 = x$ .

$y + 5 = x$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = x - 5$

Step 2

Choose any value for $x$ that is in the domain to plug into the equation.

Step 3

Choose $0$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0 - 5$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $0$ .

$y = - 5$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(0, - 5)$

Step 4

Choose $1$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 1 - 5$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (1) - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $1$ .

$y = - 4$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(1, - 4)$

Step 5

Choose $2$ to substitute in for $x$ to find the ordered pair.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 2 - 5$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (2) - 5$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$y = - 3$

Use the $x$ and $y$ values to form the ordered pair.

$(2, - 3)$

Step 6

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, - 5), (1, - 4), (2, - 3)$
