Consider the following equation.x + 5y = 12Step 1 of 2: Determine the missing coordinate in the ordered pair (4, ?) so that it will satisfy the given equation.

The problem is giving us a coordinate (x,y): (4,?).
Then, to know which value satisfies the latter in the given equation, we have to replace x by 4 as follows:
[tex]4+5y=12[/tex]Finally, isolating for y we get the result.
[tex]5y=12-4[/tex][tex]y=\frac{8}{5}=1.6[/tex]Answer: ( 4, 8/5 )
