Q. Is (5,6) a solution to this system of inequalities?y>52x+y<17Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Check Inequality y > 5: Check if the point (5,6) satisfies the inequality y > 5. Substitute 6 for y in y > 5. 6 > 5 Since 6 is greater than 5, the inequality is true.
Check Inequality 2x + y < 17: Check if the point (5,6) satisfies the inequality 2x + y < 17.Substitute 5 for x and 6 for y in 2x + y < 17.2(5) + 6 < 1710 + 6 < 17(5,6)0Since (5,6)1 is less than (5,6)2, the inequality is true.
Determine Solution to System: Determine if (5,6) is a solution to the system of inequalities.Since (5,6) satisfies both inequalities y > 5 and 2x + y < 17, it is a solution to the system.
