Is (4, 10) a solution to this system of inequalities?

y ≤ 10
y > x + 6

1 answer

To determine if the point (4, 10) is a solution to the system of inequalities, we need to check it against each inequality.

  1. Check the first inequality: \( y \leq 10 \)

    For the point (4, 10), \( y = 10 \).

    Substituting into the inequality: \[ 10 \leq 10 \] This is true.

  2. Check the second inequality: \( y > x + 6 \)

    Again for the point (4, 10), \( y = 10 \) and \( x = 4 \).

    Substituting into the inequality: \[ 10 > 4 + 6 \] This simplifies to: \[ 10 > 10 \] This is false (10 is not greater than 10).

Since the point (4, 10) satisfies the first inequality but not the second, it is not a solution to the system of inequalities.
