Find Three Ordered Pair Solutions y=16+0.5x

$y = 16 + 0.5 x$

Step 1

Reorder $16$ and $0.5 x$ .

$y = 0.5 x + 16$

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.

$y = 0.5 (0) + 16$

Simplify $0.5 (0) + 16$ .

Multiply $0.5$ by $0$ .

$y = 0 + 16$

Add $0$ and $16$ .

$y = 16$

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

$(0, 16)$

Step 4

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.5 (1) + 16$

Simplify $0.5 (1) + 16$ .

Multiply $0.5$ by $1$ .

$y = 0.5 + 16$

Add $0.5$ and $16$ .

$y = 16.5$

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

$(1, 16.5)$

Step 5

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

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0.5 (2) + 16$

Simplify $0.5 (2) + 16$ .

Multiply $0.5$ by $2$ .

$y = 1 + 16$

Add $1$ and $16$ .

$y = 17$

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

$(2, 17)$

Step 6

These are three possible solutions to the equation.

$(0, 16), (1, 16.5), (2, 17)$
