Q. Is (1,7) a solution to this system of inequalities?2x+2y<195x+y≥12Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Check First Inequality: Does the point (1,7) satisfy the inequality 2x + 2y < 19?Substitute 1 for x and 7 for y in 2x + 2y < 19.2(1) + 2(7) < 192 + 14 < 1916 < 19Since 16 < 19 is true, (1,7) satisfies the first inequality.
Check Second Inequality: Does the point (1,7) satisfy the inequality 5x+y≥12?Substitute 1 for x and 7 for y in 5x+y≥12.5(1)+7≥125+7≥1212≥12Since 12≥12 is true, (1,7) satisfies the second inequality.
Verify Solution: Is (1,7) a solution to the system of inequalities?Since (1,7) satisfies both inequalities:2x + 2y < 195x+y≥12We can conclude that (1,7) is indeed a solution to the system of inequalities.
