In the ordered pair (2, 12), x = 2 and y = 12. Substitute these values into each inequality to see if the resulting inequality is true. y > 2x + 4 12 > 2(2) + 4 Twelve is greater than 2 times 2 plus 4 ...hmmm 12 > 4 + 4 12 > 8 Twelve is greater than 8 ....this is TRUE...go to the next inequality y < 3x + 7 12 < 3(2) + 7 Twelve is less than 3 times 2 plus 7 ...interesting 12 < 6 + 7 12 < 13 Twelve is less than 13 ... this is TRUE also Therefore; the answer is b. Yes It must create a true inequality for BOTH inequalities in order for the ordered pair to be a solution
Just put X,Y in the ordered pair into the equation and evaluate. Then do the same with the second equation and evaluate. When you do this the answer would be b. Yes
