anonymous · Answer

Plug what in

amistre64 · Answer

.... not sure how to answer that one

anonymous · Answer

Openstudy has gotten pointless over the years...

amistre64 · Answer

im assuming you have ordered pairs ... and we want to know which one of them fits the equation

anonymous · Answer

Thank you For SOME help -.-

amistre64 · Answer

ordered pairs define a and y value for you.  you have a place to put an x and a y value in the equation, the rest is arithmetic

amistre64 · Answer

** ordered pairs define an x and Y value

amistre64 · Answer

2x + y > – 4

does 0 , -5 fit?  the only way to determine it that i know of is to put it in and test, which is the final step for any solution process, dbl chk your results.

2(0) + (-5) > – 4

does this make a true statement?

anonymous · Answer

Yes\

anonymous · Answer

So B. THANK YOU.

amistre64 · Answer

2(0) + (-5) > -4

-5 > -4  is not true ...

amistre64 · Answer

if the negatives are confusing, just zero it out

-5 + 5 > -4 + 5

0 > 1

0 is not bigger then 1

amistre64 · Answer

the idea is to test them all out

maybe add 4 to each side to make life simpler?

2x + y + 4 > 0

anonymous · Answer

I cant do it. Its giving me a headache just trying too

amistre64 · Answer

well, thats the process.  if you can show me your results ill check them for you.

anonymous · Answer

I got D

amistre64 · Answer

show me the work, prove if its D or not

anonymous · Answer

It isnt.

anonymous · Answer

Omg C.

amistre64 · Answer

i tested them all, so i knew it wasnt B or D :)  but that means we have 1 degree of freedom left,  

yes, -2-1>-4  C is good

anonymous · Answer

YES !!!!

anonymous · Answer

Just for future reference 

Please tell me all the steps on this problem.

Please tell me how to test the options once i plug them in.
Every single step please.

anonymous · Answer

@amistre64 Haha i still failed though, Thank you alot tho :) Not everyone is meant to be smart i guess , Thanks again, In advanced A metal.

amistre64 · Answer

they give you an 'equation' with x and y parts in it.

they give you options that define x and y

you plug in the values and see if the equation is true.

thats the steps.
