Q. Is (9,8) a solution to the inequality 16x+5y>4 ?Choices:(A)yes(B)no
Substitute values into inequality: Substitute the values (9,8) into the inequality 16x + 5y > 4. The substituted inequality is 16(9) + 5(8) > 4.
Calculate left side: Calculate the left side of the inequality 16(9)+5(8). Simplify it to get 144+40.
Add results: Add the results from Step 2 to get 144+40=184.
Compare to right side: Compare the result from Step 3 to the right side of the inequality. We have 184 > 4.
Determine validity: Determine if the point (9,8) makes the inequality 16x + 5y > 4 true. Since 184 > 4 is a true statement, the point (9,8) does make the inequality true.
