Responses

No, it is in the solution set for y≤6x−3, but on the line for y>x+5.
No, it is in the solution set for y less-than-or-equal-to 6 x minus 3 , but on the line for y greater than x plus 5 .

Yes, it is within the solution set for both inequalities.
Yes, it is within the solution set for both inequalities.

Yes, because both of these inequalities include points on the line as a solution.
Yes, because both of these inequalities include points on the line as a solution.

No, it is not in the solution set for either inequality.

Answer 1

To determine whether the point (3, 8) is a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \(y > x + 5\) and \(y \leq 6x - 3\), we'll evaluate each inequality separately.

1. **Check the first inequality:** \(y > x + 5\)
- Substitute \(x = 3\) and \(y = 8\):
\[
8 > 3 + 5
\]
\[
8 > 8
\]
This is **false** because \(8\) is not greater than \(8\). Therefore, the point (3, 8) does not satisfy this inequality.

2. **Check the second inequality:** \(y \leq 6x - 3\)
- Substitute \(x = 3\) and \(y = 8\):
\[
8 \leq 6(3) - 3
\]
\[
8 \leq 18 - 3
\]
\[
8 \leq 15
\]
This is **true**.

Since the point (3, 8) satisfies the second inequality but does not satisfy the first inequality, the correct response would be:

**No, it is in the solution set for \(y \leq 6x - 3\), but on the line for \(y > x + 5\).**
