Choose all correct answers. Which of the following are solutions of the system? x < 3 and x + y < 5 A. (4, 2) B. (2, 2) C. (-1, 0) D. (2, -1) (im not trying to cheat i just really dont get this stuff)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we know x < 3, so we automatically know that the point must have an x coordinate less than 3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so this means that choice A is automatically out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The rest of the points all have x coordinates less than 3, so we need to test them all

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Testing (2,2) x + y < 5 2 + 2 < 5 4 < 5 ... true ------------------- Testing (-1,0) x + y < 5 -1 + 0 < 5 -1 < 5 ... true ------------------- I'll let you test the last one (2,-1) Tell me what you get for your answers (you can choose more than one)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b, c, and d?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
