To determine if the point (3, 8) is a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \( y > x + 5 \) and \( y \leq 6x - 3 \), we will evaluate each inequality separately.
-
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; it is equal to 8.
-
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 because 8 is less than or equal to 15.
Now, combining the results:
- The point (3, 8) satisfies the second inequality \( y \leq 6x - 3 \) but does not satisfy the first inequality \( y > x + 5 \).
Based on this evaluation:
Correct response: No, it is in the solution set for \( y \leq 6x - 3 \), but on the line for \( y > x + 5 \).
