Answer:

No it is not a solution

Explanation:

To solve this, you should replace your (x,y) with (8,3)- 8 being your x value and 3 being your y value.

So this inequality, your y value is supposed to be bigger than the value of whatever 3x-4 equals.

So, your inequality should be 3>3(8)-4

3*8=24-4=20

So is 3>(greater than)20? No. Which then means that (8,3) is not a solution because it would make the inequality not true.

Hope this helps!
