2. Which ordered pair makes the inequality true? 2x + y > 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) (–13, 0) b) (–2, 13) c) (0, 4) d) (5, –3)

Ive been having troubles with it I have two problems like this.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

test each point... lemme test the 1st one \(\bf 2x + y > 8\qquad (-13,0)\qquad x=-13\quad y=0\\ \quad \\ 2(-13)+0>8\implies -26 > 8\) now, is -26 really BIGGER than 8? not quite, thus is false, thus is not a solution now test the others, see which one gives you a valid inequality

OpenStudy (judygreeneyes):

2X+y>8 a) (-13,0) -26+0>8 not true b) (-2,13) -4 + 13 >8 or 9>8 this is true c) (0,4) 0 + 4 > 8 not true d) (5, -3) 10 - 3 >8 or 7 > 8 not true

OpenStudy (judygreeneyes):

inequalities are confusing for many people!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which ordered pair makes the equation true? 4x – 9y = –5 (Points : 1) (–5, –2) (–1, 1) (10, 5) (20, 4)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

valid inequalities, will be say 3 > 1 or 4 > 3 or -1 > -3 and so on invalid ones will be... say 2 < 1 because 2 is not really less than 1 or 3 < 4 or 5 > 7

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so you plug in the given "x" and "y" in the ordered pair, and see what you get

ok thank you
