Q. Is (1,4) a solution to this system of inequalities?6x+y<135x+3y>20Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Check First Inequality: Does the point (1,4) satisfy the inequality 6x + y < 13?Substitute 1 for x and 4 for y in 6x + y < 13.6(1) + 4 < 136 + 4 < 1310 < 13Since 10 < 13 is true, (1,4) satisfies the first inequality.
Check Second Inequality: Does the point (1,4) satisfy the inequality 5x + 3y > 20?Substitute 1 for x and 4 for y in 5x + 3y > 20.5(1) + 3(4) > 205 + 12 > 2017 > 20Since 17 > 20 is false, (1,4) does not satisfy the second inequality.
Verify Solution to System: Is (1,4) a solution to the system of inequalities?For a point to be a solution to a system of inequalities, it must satisfy all inequalities in the system. Since (1,4) does not satisfy the second inequality, it is not a solution to the system.
