Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To determine if the point (1, 2) makes the inequality \( 5x + 7y > 19 \) true, we can substitute \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 2 \) into the inequality.

Substituting the values:

\[
5(1) + 7(2) > 19
\]

Calculating the left side:

\[
5 + 14 > 19
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
19 > 19
\]

The statement \( 19 > 19 \) is **not** true (it is equal).

Therefore, the point (1, 2) does **not** make the inequality \( 5x + 7y > 19 \) true.
