Question

3x−4y>12 Which ordered pair (x, y) satisfies the inequality?

Answers

To determine which ordered pair \((x, y)\) satisfies the inequality \(3x - 4y > 12\), we can test various pairs in the inequality.

Let's test an example ordered pair: \((6, 0)\).

Substituting \(x = 6\) and \(y = 0\):

\[
3(6) - 4(0) > 12
\]
\[
18 > 12
\]

This is true, so \((6, 0)\) satisfies the inequality.

Now, let’s test another ordered pair: \((2, 0)\).

Substituting \(x = 2\) and \(y = 0\):

\[
3(2) - 4(0) > 12
\]
\[
6 > 12
\]

This is false, so \((2, 0)\) does not satisfy the inequality.

Another example pair to test: \((0, -4)\).

Substituting \(x = 0\) and \(y = -4\):

\[
3(0) - 4(-4) > 12
\]
\[
0 + 16 > 12
\]
\[
16 > 12
\]

This is true, so \((0, -4)\) also satisfies the inequality.

Thus, both \((6, 0)\) and \((0, -4)\) are examples of ordered pairs that satisfy the inequality \(3x - 4y > 12\). You can test more pairs in a similar manner to find additional solutions.
