Q. Is (5,2) a solution to the inequality 3x+y<19?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (5,2) into the inequality 3x + y < 19. The substituted inequality is 3(5) + (2) < 19.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 3(5)+(2). Simplify it to get 3×5+2 which equals 15+2.
Add numbers: Add the numbers to get the sum, which is 15+2=17.
Check if inequality is true: Now we have the inequality 17 < 19. Determine if the point (5,2) makes the inequality 3x + y < 19 true. Since 17 is less than 19, the statement is true.
