Question

Does the ordered pair (1,1) satisfy the following system of inequalities? {x−8y≤9−7x+5y<4

Answer 1

(1,1) does satisfy

x - 8y ≤ 9

- 7x + 5y < 4

Explanation:

Well, first we need to plug in (1,1) into,

x - 8y ≤ 9

- 7x + 5y < 4

→ 1 - 8(1) ≤ 9

- 7(1) + 5(1) < 4

1 - 8 ≤ 9

-7 + 5 < 4

-7 ≤ 9

-2 < 4

Thus,

(1,1) does satisfy

x - 8y ≤ 9

- 7x + 5y < 4.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

YES

Explanation:

Substitute x = 1 and y = 1 to the both inequalities:

`x-8y\leq9\\\\1-8(1)\leq9\\1-8\leq9\\-7\leq9\qquad\bold{TRUE}\\==================\\-7x+5y<4\\\\-7(1)+5(1)<4\\-7+5<4\\-2<4\qquad\bold{TRUE}`
