To determine if the point (3, 8) is a solution to the inequalities \( y > x + 5 \) and \( y \leq 6x - 3 \), we will evaluate both inequalities with the point coordinates \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 8 \).
-
Check the first inequality:
\( y > x + 5 \)
Substitute \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 8 \):
\( 8 > 3 + 5 \)
\( 8 > 8 \)
This is false because 8 is not greater than 8. -
Check the second inequality:
\( y \leq 6x - 3 \)
Substitute \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 8 \):
\( 8 \leq 6(3) - 3 \)
\( 8 \leq 18 - 3 \)
\( 8 \leq 15 \)
This is true.
Since the point (3, 8) does not satisfy the first inequality (it is not greater), but satisfies the second inequality, we conclude:
Correct Response: No, it is in the solution set for \( y \leq 6x - 3 \), but on the line for \( y > x + 5 \).
