Question

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality x+3y≥−8? Select each correct answer.

Answer 1

For (-6, 0): -6 + 3(0) = -6 + 0 = -6 ≥ -8         [true]
For (-1, -2): -1 + 3(-2) = -1 - 6 = -7 ≥ -8       [true]
For (0, -3): 0 + 3(-3) = 0 - 9 = -9 ≤ -8          [false]
For (-5, -1): -5 + 3(-1) = -5 - 3 = -8 ≥ -8       [true]
For (-16, 2): -16 + 3(2) = -16 + 6 = -10 ≤ -8 [false]

Therefore, options A, B and C satisfy the inequality.
