Full solution

Q. Is (2,1)(2,\,1) a solution to the inequality 8x+9y>178x + 9y > 17 ?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
  1. Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,1)(2, 1) into the inequality 8x + 9y > 17. The substituted inequality is 8(2) + 9(1) > 17.
  2. Perform calculations: Perform the calculations on the left side of the inequality. Simplify 8(2)+9(1)8(2) + 9(1) to get 16+916 + 9.
  3. Find sum: Add the numbers together to find the sum. 16+916 + 9 equals 2525.
  4. Check if statement is true: The inequality now reads 25 > 17. Determine if this statement is true.
  5. Verify point satisfies inequality: Since 2525 is greater than 1717, the statement 25 > 17 is true. Therefore, the point (2,1)(2, 1) does make the inequality 8x + 9y > 17 true.
