To determine whether the point (3, 8) is a solution to the simultaneous inequalities \(y > x + 5\) and \(y \leq 6x - 3\), we will evaluate each inequality with \(x = 3\) 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 because \(8\) is indeed less than or equal to \(15\).
Since the point (3, 8) satisfies the second inequality \(y \leq 6x - 3\) but does not satisfy the first inequality \(y > x + 5\), the correct response is:
No, it is in the solution set for \(y \leq 6x - 3\), but on the line for \(y > x + 5\).
