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 separately.

  1. First Inequality: \( y > x + 5 \)

    For the point (3, 8): \[ 8 > 3 + 5 \] Simplifying the right side: \[ 8 > 8 \] This is false because 8 is not greater than 8.

  2. Second Inequality: \( y \leq 6x - 3 \)

    For the point (3, 8): \[ 8 \leq 6(3) - 3 \] Simplifying the right side: \[ 8 \leq 18 - 3 \] \[ 8 \leq 15 \] This is true because 8 is less than or equal to 15.

Conclusion: The point (3, 8) satisfies the second inequality but does not satisfy the first inequality. Therefore, the correct response is:

No, it is in the solution set for \( y \leq 6x - 3 \), but on the line for \( y > x + 5 \).
