Help with Algebra!!!

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given inequality. Show your work step-by-step.

1. (1,6);y 12 years ago

Answer 1

Plug the x and y values in and simplify

Answer 2

So #1 would be y<7? And #2 would be y ≥-6+17? And #3 would be y≤7?

Answer 3

I'll do the first one.

\[y <x +6\]
Since we are told that x = 1 and y = 6 plug those back into the equation.
\[6 < 1 + 6\]
Now simplify.
6 < 7
Since 6 is less than 7 , #1 is true

Answer 4

Do you understand what I did?

Answer 5

Yes I did

Answer 6

I get it now...

Answer 7

Thanks!

Answer 8

So #2 would be -12≥-6+17 which is invalid so it's not a solution to the equation right?

Answer 9

Where did you get 17 from?

Answer 10

Hold on.. I'm trying to re-solve it...

Answer 11

Never mind it's -12≥-6-5 right?

Answer 12

It's -12≥-11 which is a solution

Answer 13

Well, there negative. -12 is less than -11 - so false

Answer 14

Oh ya... so #3 would be true then right?

Answer 15

\[-3 \le -3\]

-3 is less than or equal to -3. So yes, true

Answer 16

Thanks!
