Final answer:
To determine if an ordered pair is a solution of an inequality, substitute the values from the ordered pair into the inequality and check if the resulting inequality is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine whether a given ordered pair is a solution of an inequality, you need to substitute the values from the ordered pair into the inequality. If the resulting inequality is true, then the ordered pair is a solution; if not, then it is not a solution.
For example, let's say you have the inequality 2x + 3y < 10 and the ordered pair (2, 1). To check if (2, 1) is a solution, substitute 2 for x and 1 for y in the inequality: 2(2) + 3(1) < 10. Simplify this: 4 + 3 < 10. The resulting inequality 7 < 10 is true, so (2, 1) is indeed a solution of the inequality.
