In a few sentences, please explain how you arrived at your answer​

Answer 1

`(4,7)`

Explanation:

Given

`2x - 3 < y`

`(x,7)`

Required

Find one possible value of x

From the given parameters;

`(x,7)` is a possible solution of
`2x - 3 < y` where y= 7

Substitute 7 for y

`2x - 3 < 7`

Add 3 to both sides

`2x - 3 + 3 < 7 + 3`

`2x < 10`

Divide both sides by 2

`2x/2 < 10/2`

`x < 5`

The result of the inequality implies that x is less than 5; So, the possible values of x is all real numbers less than 5;

Having said that;

`(4,7)` is one possible coordinate of
`2x - 3 < y`
