A) yes
B) yes
C) no

For each of these, substitute the value of x in the ordered pair into x in the function.

For A, x = -5; -5<2, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = 3. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=3, so yes, it is a solution.

For B, x = 2; 2≤2<6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = -x+1. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-1; -2+1=-1, so yes, it is a solution.

For C, x = 8; 8≥6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = x. In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-7; -7≠8, so no, it is not a solution.
