Question

Is the point (15,7) a valid solution to 3x-4y<=17
Show work

Answer 1

To determine if the point (15,7) is a valid solution to the inequality 3x-4y<=17, we will substitute the x and y values into the inequality and check if the statement holds true.

Substituting x=15 and y=7 into the inequality:
3(15) - 4(7) <= 17
45 - 28 <= 17
17 <= 17

Since the inequality holds true (17 is equal to 17), the point (15,7) is a valid solution to the inequality 3x-4y<=17.
