Question

TRUE OR FALSE : The ordered pair (3, -2) is a solution to the system of inequalities

Answer 1

Plug in for x and y and simplify. If the statement at the end is something true, such as 4>2 or 6<10, then YAAAY! the ordered pair is a solution.
If the statement ends up being false, such as something like 5>6 or 10<4, well then the ordered pair is not a solution.

Answer 2

huh

Answer 3

it doesnt give me a x or y...just gives me that and askes if its true or false

Answer 4

Here's an example problem.
5x - 7 < 3y +12
Is the ordered paid (2, 3) a solution to the system?
(2, 3) means that x is 2 and y is 3. I'll plug those in and see what happens.
5(2) -7 < 3(3) + 12
10-7 < 9 + 12
3 < 21
3 is less than 21, so the ordered pair (2,3) is a solution of the inequality.

Answer 5

An ordered pair is a way of writing a point. We use parenthesis and a comma to separate the two numbers. The first number is x and the second number is y. Here are some examples of ordered pairs and their points:
