What ideas do you have for how we would approach this?

anonymous · Answer

Ok, well I think a good approach might be
to just try plugging in x from those ordered pairs
and see which one works....For example for the pair (2, 3)
we can plug in 2 for x in both equations and see if y comes out to 3. :)

anonymous · Answer

I'm plugging in 2 for x
and solving

Uhh, well, wouldn't it be better to plug in both x and y and see if the inequality makes sense?

anonymous · Answer

It would be, but lets just go with plugging in 2 for x at the moment.
