Explanation:

Taking your question literally.

This is a generic equation relating $x and y$ $x and y$ so the ordered pair will have to be in generic form as well.

Add $6 y$ $6y$ to both sides

$8 x = 72 + 6 y$ $8x=72+6y$

Subtract 72 from both sides

$8 x - 72 = 6 y$ $8x-72=6y$

Divide both sides by 6

$y = \frac{8}{6} x - \frac{72}{6}$ $y=8/6x - 72/6$

So the ordered pair $(x, y) \to (x ., . \frac{8}{6} x - \frac{72}{6})$ $(color(red)(x),color(green)(y))" "->" "(color(red)(x)color(white)(.),color(white)(.)color(green)(8/6x-72/6))$
