This ordered pair represents the number of waffle cones (2) and milkshakes (3) that are bought to pay $20.25
3.75x+4.25y=20.25
3.75(2)+4.25(3)=20.25
7.5+12.75=20.25
Hope this helps!
the ordered pair represents the values of x and y respectively. that is x=2 and y=3, as ordered pairs are always written as (x,y). you can check this by substituting 2 and 3 for x and y in the original equation. you will see that 2 times 3.75 added to 3 times 4.25 does equal 20.25.
