which of the following points are solutions to the system of inequalities shown below . check all that apply ( can be multiple answers ) y>5x-2 y<5x+3 a) (4,23) b(4,20) c(-5,25) d ( 5,28)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what my com says up there .-. ill screen shot it hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phi):

when x is 4, what are the upper and lower limits on y ? use y>5x-2 y<5x+3 with x replaced by 4

OpenStudy (phi):

in other words, simplify y > 5*4 -2 what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>20-2

OpenStudy (phi):

and 20-2 is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18

OpenStudy (phi):

so y > 18 (which means y is bigger than 18) now do the other limit y<5x+3 with x=4 y < 5*4 + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y<20+3 which is 23

OpenStudy (phi):

right, which means that when x is 4, the y value must be 18 < y < 23 (between 18 and 23) do any of the points listed in your choices match that condition ?

OpenStudy (phi):

choice A is point (4,23) . Its y value is 23. But we need y to be LESS than 23 (not less than or equal) so Choice A is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d is right

OpenStudy (phi):

Did you calculate the allowed y's for when x is 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wait the answers up there^ and on my computer is in different order .-. sorru bout that

OpenStudy (phi):

look at y < 5x +3 when x is 5 you get y < 5*5 +3 y < 25 + 3 y<28 but the point D (5,28) has a y value of 28. 28 is not LESS than 28

OpenStudy (phi):

what is choice d on your computer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. (5, 28) B. (4, 20) C. (-5, 25) D. (4, 23)

OpenStudy (phi):

what is the y value of choice D ?

OpenStudy (phi):

the y value of (4,23) is the second number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23

OpenStudy (phi):

we figured out 18 < y < 23 in other words, the y value must be bigger than 18: 23 is bigger than 18. that is ok but y must be less than 23 is 23 less than 23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (phi):

try a different choice. remember, when x is 4 you want the y value between 18 and 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm?

OpenStudy (phi):

Do you understand that (4,23) is not the answer because its y value of 23 does not fit between 18 and 23 ? what choice has x=4 and its y value is between 18 and 23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b ( 4.20)?

OpenStudy (phi):

is 20 bigger than 18 ? is 20 less than 23 ? if so, then (4,20) is allowed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you c:
