Overview
An ordered pair of x and y, denoted \langle x, y \rangle, is defined as: \langle x, y \rangle = \{\{x\}, \{x, y\}\}. We define the first coordinate of \langle x, y \rangle to be x and the second coordinate to be y.

n-ary Relations
We define ordered triples as \langle x, y, z \rangle = \langle \langle x, y \rangle, z \rangle. We define ordered quadruples as \langle x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 \rangle = \langle \langle \langle x_1, x_2 \rangle, x_3 \rangle, x_4 \rangle. This idea generalizes to n-tuples. As a special case, we define the 1-tuple \langle x \rangle = x.
An n-ary relation on A is a set of ordered n-tuples with all components in A. Keep in mind though, a unary (1-ary) relation on A is just a subset of A and may not be a relation at all.
