Q. Is (2,7) a solution to the inequality 3x+2y>20 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,7) into the inequality 3x + 2y > 20. The substituted inequality is 3(2) + 2(7) > 20.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 3(2)+2(7). Simplify it to get 6+14.
Add numbers together: Add the numbers together to get 6+14=20.
Determine if inequality is true: The inequality 3(2) + 2(7) > 20 becomes 20 > 20. Now, determine if the point (2,7) makes the inequality 3x + 2y > 20 true. Since 20 is not greater than 20, the statement 20 > 20 is false. Therefore, the point (2,7) does not make the inequality 3x + 2y > 20 true.
