Question

Help with algebra problem

Answer 1

Yes.

Explanation:

First, put -6 as x, and 1 as y in the inequality.

You get:

3>-42

You found out that it is true, so yes the ordered pair does satisfy the inequality.

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

To find the answer, you just have to plug the (x,y) values into the equation to see if it is true.

3(1) > 5(-6) -12

3 > -30 -12

3 > -42

Since 3 > -42 the ordered pair is a solution to the inequality
