Question

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system?

Answer 1

Answer: C) (-3, -1)
X = -3 and y= -1

If you apply these values in the inequalities
y < 2x + 1
-3 < -2 + 1
-3 < -1
Since -3 is less than -1 , the values hold true for the first equation

y > -x-5
-3 > -1 - 5
-3 > -6
Since -3 is greater than -6, it also holds true for the 2nd equation
