Q. Does (7,5) make the inequality 12x+14y>20 true? Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (7,5) into the inequality 12x + 14y > 20. The substituted inequality is 12(7) + 14(5) > 20.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 12(7)+14(5). Simplify it to get 84+70.
Add results: Add the results of the multiplication to get 84+70=154.
Determine truth of inequality: The inequality 12(7) + 14(5) > 20 becomes 154 > 20. Now, determine if the point (7,5) makes the inequality 12x + 14y > 20 true. Since 154 is greater than 20, the statement 154 > 20 is true.
