Q. Is (1,6) a solution to this system of inequalities?y≤72x+y<8Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Check Inequality: Does the point (1,6) satisfy the inequality y≤7?Substitute 6 for y in y≤7.6≤7Since 6≤7 is true, (1,6) satisfies y≤7.
Substitute Values: Does the point (1,6) satisfy the inequality 2x + y < 8?Substitute 1 for x and 6 for y in 2x + y < 8.2(1) + 6 < 82 + 6 < 88 < 8Since 8 < 8 is false (it should be 2x + y < 81), (1,6) does not satisfy 2x + y < 8.
