Question

Is (3, 2) a solution of -8x – 2y < 6?

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

To determine if the point is a solution, substitute the coordinates into the left side of the inequality, evaluate and compare with right side.

- 8(3) - 2(2) = - 24 - 4 = - 28 < 6

Thus (3, 2) is a solution

Answer 2

Yes.

Explanation:

Let's substitute x = 3 and y = 2 into the inequality:

-8(3) - 2(2) = -28 which is less than 6 so it is a solution.
