Question

Which point lies in the solution set for the following system of inequalities?

2x + y > 8
x − y < 2

(1, 1)
(3, 4)
(5, −2)
(6, 1)

Answer 1

Try each point in both inequalities.
A point that works in both inequalities is your answer.

Answer 2

another approach, especially if you are not given the choices

graph each line
find the inequality for each line
the solution will be the overlap of each inequality

then you can read the solution from your graph

Answer 3

did you get it?

Answer 4

mathstudent55 has the right idea

Answer 5

is it (3,4)?

Answer 6

give me a sec

Answer 7

yep that's right
