Question

Which of these ordered pairs is a solution to the inequality

4x + y > –6?

(1, –12)
(0, –9)
(–1, –1)
(–3, 0)

Answer 1

I will suggest to better check out the Trial and error method here.

Plug - in the values for x and y given in the options in the equation 4x + y > -6 and check out if the result is true or not.

For example :

Option be says (0,-9)

So plug-in x = 0 and y = -9 in 4x + y > -6

4(0) + (-9) > - 6

0 + (-9) > - 6

-9 > -6

which is actually NOT TRUE as -9 is smaller than -6. So, b) can not be the answer.

Answer 2

so 4(1) +(-12)> -6

1+(-12)> -6

-11>-6

?

Answer 3

did i do it right?

Answer 4

4(1) = ?

Answer 5

Answer 9

Yes is -8 > -6 ?

Answer 10
