Pick a random value for either u or v, and then determine the the value of v or u that matches up with it. I recommend whole numbers!

For example, I’m going to randomly pick u = 0, now plug this into the equation to determine v:

6u+v=1

=> 6(0) + v = 1

=> v = 1

So one ordered pair, (u,v), for the equation 6u+v=1, is:

(0, 1)

You could have also picked v = 0, for which you would find the accompanying value for u:

6u+v=1

=> 6u + 0 = 1

=> 6u = 1

=> u = 1/6

So for the equation, 6u+v=1, another ordered pair would be:

(1/6, 0).

There are, of course, many more ordered pairs for that equation!
