Given the following inequality:


\text{ y > 3x - 4}

For us to verify if 8, 3 is a solution, let's plug it in the inequality to see if it will satisfy the criteria.

We get,

y > 3x - 4

3 > 3(8) - 4

3 > 24 - 4

3 > 20 (FALSE)

8, 3 is not a solution.

Therefore, the answer is NO, (8, 3) is not a solution of y > 3x - 4.
