Answer:

No

Explanation:

To determine whether (2, 5) is a solution of the inequality y < 3x - 2, we need to substitute x = 2 and y = 5 into the inequality and check whether the inequality holds.

y < 3x - 2

Substituting x = 2 and y = 5, we get:

5 < 3(2) - 2

Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:

5 < 6 - 2

5 < 4

This is not true, since 5 is not less than 4. Therefore, (2, 5) is not a solution of the inequality y < 3x - 2.
