Question 162727: Please help. Tough for me.
Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality.
(-5,3) ; 4x +y < -8
In this case, are the ordered pair a solution?

Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
All you need to do is to plug in the given values into the equation and see if it holds true.
(x,y) = (-5,3)
.
Plug it into:
4x +y < -8
4(-5) + 3 < -8
-20 + 3 < -8
-17 < -8
.
Since -17 IS "less than" -8, it is TRUE.
.
So, yes, the ordered pair (-5,3) IS a solution.
