Full solution

Q. Is (2, 8)(2,\ 8) a solution to the inequality 3x+8y<93x + 8y < 9? \newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
  1. Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (2,8)(2, 8) into the inequality 3x + 8y < 9. The substituted inequality is 3(2) + 8(8) < 9.
  2. Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 3(2)+8(8)3(2) + 8(8). Simplify it to get 3×2+8×83\times2 + 8\times8 which equals 6+646 + 64.
  3. Add numbers: Add the numbers 6+646 + 64 to get 7070. So, the inequality becomes 70 < 9.
  4. Determine inequality truth: Determine if the inequality 70 < 9 is true. Since 7070 is not less than 99, the inequality is false. Therefore, the point (2,8)(2, 8) does not make the inequality 3x + 8y < 9 true.
