One possible solution is x2 + (y - 4)2 = 0.
There are infinitely many ordered pairs: each point on the straight line defined by the equation is an ordered pair that is a solution. One example is (0.5, 2.5)

The pair (2, 3) is the same as the pair (3, 2) but the ORDERED pair (2, 3) is NOT the same as the ORDERED pair (3, 2). In an ordered pair the order of the numbers does matter.
I have a hunch that this was originally a multiple-choice question, and you haven't given us the list of choices along with the question. There are an infinite number of ordered pairs that solve this equation. Go back to the list under the question, find the ordered pair where the 'y' number is 2 more than the 'x' number, and that's your solution.
