Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of inequalities?

y > -2
x + y < 4

A. (-2, -3)
B. (-3, 5)
C. (0, 4)
D. (1, 4)

Answer 1

B. (-3, 5)

Explanation:

B. (-3, 5) when we replace y=5 in y>-2 this inequality holds, and now we replace y=5 and x=-3 in x+y<4⇒ -3+5<4⇒2<4 this inequality holds too. but none of the other options are valid.

Then the correct answer is : B. (-3, 5)

Answer 2

B. (-3, 5)

Explanation:

Try them.

You can eliminate choice A because y=-3 is not greater than -2.

You can eliminate choices C and D because the sum of x and y is not less than 4.

Point (-3, 5) satisfies both inequalities. (Choice B)

• 5 > -2
• -3 +5 = 2 < 4
