Question

(Re-Asking This Question, NO scam answers or LINKS. I will report.)

Is the point (-5, -6) a solution of the inequality 3x - 2y > -4? EXPLAIN your answer.

Please DO NOT say just yes, no, or I don't know.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

This is because the first point in the parenthesis is x and the second is y. If we know this, we can substitute -5 in for x and -6 in for y to get that -15 - (-12) > -4. When you subtract by a negative number, it is the same as adding by that number, so -15 - (-12) = -15 + 12, so we get that -3 > -4. This is true because when you have negative numbers, the lesser negative number is the greater one (Ex. -5 > -6).
