Final answer:

The ordered pair (-1, 1) is the solution of the inequality 2x - 4y < 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which ordered pair is a solution of the inequality 2x - 4y < 6, we can substitute the x and y values of each pair into the inequality and see which pair satisfies the inequality. Let's check each pair:

a. (2, -2):

2(2) - 4(-2) = 4 + 8 = 12

Since 12 is not less than 6, (2, -2) is not a solution.

b. (3, -1):

2(3) - 4(-1) = 6 + 4 = 10

Since 10 is not less than 6, (3, -1) is not a solution.

c. (0, -2):

2(0) - 4(-2) = 0 + 8 = 8

Since 8 is not less than 6, (0, -2) is not a solution.

d. (-1, 1):

2(-1) - 4(1) = -2 - 4 = -6

Since -6 is less than 6, (-1, 1) is a solution.

Therefore, the ordered pair (d) (-1, 1) is the solution of the inequality.
