Question

If the ordered pair (a, b) satisfies the inequality. y > x-4, three of these statements are

true. Which statement is NOT true?

Answer 1

If you subtract 4 from a, it will be greater than b

Explanation:

Ok, so in order to solve this, it would be easier to substitute (a,b) into the equation:

b>a-4

Ok, next, you just have to work out each individual question to see which one is incorrect. You can immediately know it is the first one, and this is because we know that B is larger in this equation, but the problem says that subtracting 4 from a would be greater than b. This is incorrect, b is greater than 4-a, so the top left would be your answer.

Hope this helps!
