Q. Is (1,1) a solution to the inequality 7x+9y<20 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (1,1) into the inequality 7x + 9y < 20. The substituted inequality is 7(1) + 9(1) < 20.
Simplify left side: Simplify the left side of the inequality 7(1)+9(1) to get 7+9.
Find sum: Add the numbers together to find the sum. 7+9 equals 16.
Check if statement is true: The inequality now reads 16 < 20. Determine if this is a true statement.
Verify point satisfies inequality: Since 16 is less than 20, the inequality 16 < 20 is true. Therefore, the point (1,1) does make the inequality 7x + 9y < 20 true.
