Which point is NOT a solution of x + 2y ≤ 8 a. (0, 4) b. (-2, 3) c. (4, 4) d. (6, 0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its B but im not 100% sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's check it x + 2y ≤ 8 -2 + 2(3) ≤ 8 ... replace x with -2 and y with 3 -2 + 6 ≤ 8 4 ≤ 8 that's true, so that answer gets eliminated since we want non-solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks jim :D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so what is the actual answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so i was wrong ;(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah it's not B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see how I checked and eliminated it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 4 is not equal to 8.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 ≤ 8 is not correct...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 ≤ 8 is true since 4 is less than 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 is not equal to 8, but it's less than 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh okay i get it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn, again wrong :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was sure i read C -_-. really sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so ill try and check if C is right x + 2y ≤ 8 4 + 2(4) ≤ 8 4 + 8 ≤ 8 that is not correct so i guess its C? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah you have to be careful, they wanted things that were NOT solutions not things that were...hmm i can see why it's so convoluted and confusing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah C is false, so C is the answer you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! thx alot jim :)
