(−1, −6) begin ordered pair negative 1 comma negative 6 end ordered pair

(−3, 3) begin ordered pair negative 3 comma 3 end ordered pair

(11, 3) Begin ordered pair 11 comma 3 end ordered pair

(7, 0)

Solution

We need to determine which ordered pairs (x,y)(x, y) are solutions to the equation 3x4y=213x - 4y = 21. This can be done by substituting each pair of values into the equation and checking if the equation holds true.

  1. For (1,6)(-1, -6): 3(1)4(6)=3+24=213(-1) - 4(-6) = -3 + 24 = 21 This is true, so (1,6)(-1, -6) is a solution.

  2. For (3,3)(-3, 3): 3(3)4(3)=912=213(-3) - 4(3) = -9 - 12 = -21 This is false, so (3,3)(-3, 3) is not a solution.

  3. For (11,3)(11, 3): 3(11)4(3)=3312=213(11) - 4(3) = 33 - 12 = 21 This is true, so (11,3)(11, 3) is a solution.

  4. For (7,0)(7, 0): 3(7)4(0)=210=213(7) - 4(0) = 21 - 0 = 21 This is true, so (7,0)(7, 0) is a solution.

Correct solutions:

(1,6)(-1, -6), (11,3)(11, 3), and (7,0)(7, 0).
