Q. Is (2,6) a solution to the inequality 5x+18y≤1 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,6) into the inequality 5x+18y≤1. The substituted inequality is 5(2)+18(6)≤1.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 5(2)+18(6). Simplify 5(2) to get 10 and 18(6) to get 108.
Add results: Add the results from Step 2 to get 10+108, which equals 118.
Compare with right side: Compare the result from Step 3 with the right side of the inequality. We have 118≤1. Determine if this statement is true or false.
Evaluate statement: Since 118 is not less than or equal to1, the statement 118≤1 is false. Therefore, the point (2,6) does not make the inequality 5x+18y≤1 true.
