Which of the following ordered pairs is not a solution to the inequality y < -x + 4? A. (1, 2) B. (2, 1) C. (4, 0) D. (3, -2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the value for x and see if you get the value for y out of the calculation i.e. 2 = -1+4 : is this true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know if it s a, b, c, or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try each in turn and you will find a answer that doesn't work thats the one you are looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this case you are looking for a value that is > the value for -x+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take A. with the values (1,2) put them into the expression: 2 < -1+4 so that is 2 < 3 now this is true and a solution we need to find something like 4 < 1 thats not a solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is it C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes is C as they are equal
