In lowest terms, the answer would be a. 2/5 because what you do is divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In this case, the greatest common factor of 16 and 40 is 8. Divide 16 and 40 by 8 and you will get the fraction 2/5. And since 2/5 cannot be simplified any longer, this lets you know that 16/40 in lowest terms is 2/5.

Which ordered pairs are in the solution set of the system of linear inequalities? y > x y < x + 1 (5, –2), (3, 1), (–4, 2)

steposvetlana [31]

To check which ordered pair (point) is in the solution set of the system of given linear inequalities y>x, y<x+1; we just need to plug given points into both inequalities and check if that point satisfies both inequalities or not. If any point satisfies both inequalities then that point will be in solution.

I will show you calculation for (5,-2)

plug into y>x

-2>5

which is clearly false.

plug into y<x+1

-2<5+1

or -2<6

which is also false.

hence (5,-2) is not in the solution.

Same way if you test all the given points then you will find that none of the given points are satisfying both inequalities.

Hence answer will be "No Solution from given choices".
