Concept:

The ordered pairs are equal, the corresponding elements are equal.

(a, b) = (c, d)

Then a = c and b = d

Calculation:

Given: (x2 - 3x + 5, y – 4) = (3,1)

The ordered pairs are equal, the corresponding elements are equal.

x2 - 3x + 5 = 3

⇒ x2 - 3x + 2 = 0

⇒ x2 - 2x - x + 2 = 0

⇒ x(x - 2) -1(x - 2) = 0

⇒ (x - 1)(x - 2) = 0

⇒ x = 1, 2

And y - 4 = 1

⇒ y = 5
