Solution of an inequality
In order to find if an ordered pair is a solution of
x + y > 3
we just need to add x + y using x and y values of the given ordered pairs. Then, we analyze if x + y is bigger or lower than 3
Remember that an ordered pair is given by (x, y). Then we just add the given numbers
(2, 10)
x + y = 2 + 10 = 12
(-5, -4)
x + y = - 5 - 4 = -9
(-5, -8)
x + y = -5 - 8 = -13
(0, 4)
x + y = 0 + 4 = 4
(-8, -2)
x + y = - 8 - 2 = - 10
The correct ordered pairs will be those whose result is > 3 (this mean the numbers bigger than 3). We just have two (0, 4) result is 4 and (2, 10) was 12, then
Answer: the ordered pairs that are solutions of x + y > 3 are
(0, 4) and (2, 10)
