To determine which point is a solution for the given simultaneous inequalities \(y \leq 4x - 5\) and \(y < 2x - 7\), we need to check each point against both inequalities.

  1. (7, 12):

    • For \(y \leq 4x - 5\):
      • \(12 \leq 4(7) - 5 \Rightarrow 12 \leq 28 - 5 \Rightarrow 12 \leq 23\) (True)
    • For \(y < 2x - 7\):
      • \(12 < 2(7) - 7 \Rightarrow 12 < 14 - 7 \Rightarrow 12 < 7\) (False)
  2. (5, 3):

    • For \(y \leq 4x - 5\):
      • \(3 \leq 4(5) - 5 \Rightarrow 3 \leq 20 - 5 \Rightarrow 3 \leq 15\) (True)
    • For \(y < 2x - 7\):
      • \(3 < 2(5) - 7 \Rightarrow 3 < 10 - 7 \Rightarrow 3 < 3\) (False)
  3. (0, 15):

    • For \(y \leq 4x - 5\):
      • \(15 \leq 4(0) - 5 \Rightarrow 15 \leq 0 - 5 \Rightarrow 15 \leq -5\) (False)
  4. (15, 0):

    • For \(y \leq 4x - 5\):
      • \(0 \leq 4(15) - 5 \Rightarrow 0 \leq 60 - 5 \Rightarrow 0 \leq 55\) (True)
    • For \(y < 2x - 7\):
      • \(0 < 2(15) - 7 \Rightarrow 0 < 30 - 7 \Rightarrow 0 < 23\) (True)

Based on the evaluations, the point (15, 0) satisfies both inequalities.

So the correct answer is:

(15, 0)
