To determine if the point (3, 2) is a solution to the inequality \(2x + 5y < 18\), we will substitute \(x = 3\) and \(y = 2\) into the inequality.

First, substitute the values:

\[
2(3) + 5(2) < 18
\]

Now, calculate:

\[
6 + 10 < 18
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
16 < 18
\]

Since this statement is true, the point (3, 2) is indeed a solution to the inequality \(2x + 5y < 18\).
