See the entire solution process below:

To find the #y# value for the ordered pair substitute #color(red)(3)# for #color(red)(x)# in the equation and solve for #y#:

#6color(red)(x) - y = 7# becomes:

#(6 xx color(red)(3)) - y = 7#

#18 - y = 7#

#color(red)(-18) + 18 - y = 7 color(red)(- 18)#

#0 - y = -11#

#-y = -11#

#color(red)(-1) xx -y = color(red)(-1) xx -11#

#y = 11#

The ordered pair is #(3, 11)#
