Q. Is (2,1) a solution to the inequality 3x+9y≥17 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values: Substitute the values (2,1) into the inequality 3x+9y≥17. The substituted inequality is 3(2)+9(1)≥17.
Perform calculations: Perform the calculations on the left side of the inequality. Simplify 3(2)+9(1) to get 6+9.
Find sum: Add the numbers together to find the sum. 6+9 equals 15.
Compare with right side: Compare the result from Step 3 with the right side of the inequality. We have 15≥17.
Check inequality: Determine if the inequality holds true. Since 15 is not greater than or equal to 17, the inequality 15≥17 is false. Therefore, the point (2,1) is not a solution to the inequality 3x+9y≥17.
