Problem
3. In one linear function, when you subtract each y-coordinate from the x-coordinate, the difference is 3. If the x-coordinate is not greater than 10 and the y-coordinate is a positive whole number, how many ordered pairs are there?
Solution
Here are the conditions
x- y= 3
x <10
y >0
And then we have these as possible answers:
4-1 =3
5-2= 3
6-3=3
7-4=3
8-5=3
9-6=3
Then the total possible pairs are: 6
