Q. Is (2,1) a solution to the inequality 4x+6y≥17 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,1) into the inequality 4x+6y≥17. The substituted inequality is 4(2)+6(1)≥17.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 4(2)+6(1) to find the sum. This simplifies to 8+6.
Add numbers: Add the numbers 8+6 to get 14.
Determine truth of inequality: The inequality 4(2)+6(1)≥17 becomes 14≥17. Now, determine if the point (2,1) makes the inequality 4x+6y≥17 true. Since 14 is not greater than or equal to 17, the statement 14≥17 is false.
