To determine which ordered pairs are solutions to the given system of inequalities, we need to check each pair against both inequalities:
- First Inequality: \( y > 5 - 3x \)
- Second Inequality: \( 6x - 5y < -2 \)
Now, let's check each ordered pair:
a. (3, 7)
- Check the first inequality: \[ 7 > 5 - 3(3) \implies 7 > 5 - 9 \implies 7 > -4 \quad \text{(True)} \]
- Check the second inequality: \[ 6(3) - 5(7) < -2 \implies 18 - 35 < -2 \implies -17 < -2 \quad \text{(False)} \] Result: Not a solution.
b. (2, 1)
- Check the first inequality: \[ 1 > 5 - 3(2) \implies 1 > 5 - 6 \implies 1 > -1 \quad \text{(True)} \]
- Check the second inequality: \[ 6(2) - 5(1) < -2 \implies 12 - 5 < -2 \implies 7 < -2 \quad \text{(False)} \] Result: Not a solution.
c. (0, 8)
- Check the first inequality: \[ 8 > 5 - 3(0) \implies 8 > 5 \quad \text{(True)} \]
- Check the second inequality: \[ 6(0) - 5(8) < -2 \implies 0 - 40 < -2 \implies -40 < -2 \quad \text{(True)} \] Result: This is a solution.
d. (-4, 20)
- Check the first inequality: \[ 20 > 5 - 3(-4) \implies 20 > 5 + 12 \implies 20 > 17 \quad \text{(True)} \]
- Check the second inequality: \[ 6(-4) - 5(20) < -2 \implies -24 - 100 < -2 \implies -124 < -2 \quad \text{(True)} \] Result: This is a solution.
Solutions
The pairs that are solutions to the system of inequalities are:
- c. (0, 8)
- d. (-4, 20)
