$x = \frac{3}{- 2}$ $x=3/(-2)$

Explanation:

Since they provided you with $(?, 0)$ $(?,0)$ and $- 2 x + y = 3$ $-2x+y=3$
you would complete the ordered pair by substituting 0 for y in the equation in order to find $?$ $?$

$- 2 x + 0 = 3$ $-2x+ 0=3$

$- 2 x = 3$ $-2x=3$ (Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable)

$x = \frac{3}{- 2}$ $x=3/(-2)$

$? = \frac{3}{- 2}$ $? = 3/(-2)$

Check your answer by plugging in $x = \frac{3}{- 2}$ $x=3/(-2)$ and $y = 0$ $y=0$ into the given equation:

$- 2 (\frac{3}{- 2}) + 0 = 3$ $-2(3/(-2)) + 0 = 3$

$3 = 3$ $3=3$
