This is what the directions say:

Pick an arbitrary value for x and solve for y. Do that three times for each problem, and the x you pick and the y you come up with will be your ordered pair.

Geez thats a hard one...I'm trying to find whole numbers but I cant. I only came up with one...

I havent done this in awhile, so let me know I fi messed something up erin.

5x - 3y = 15
5(6) - 3y = 15
30 - 3y = 15
-3y = -15
y = 5 therefore, (6,5) is the answer

and so forth...Do that picking a random number for x and solve. Get it?
