I presume you have a set of ordered pairs to test. Otherwise you are in for a very LONG night since the solution set has infinite elements.

Take the first value in an ordered pair you want to check and substitute it for x. Take the second value from that same ordered pair and substitute it for y. If the result is a true statement, then the ordered pair is an element of the solution set. Otherwise not. Note the "strictly less than" relationship -- 24 is NOT less than 3 times 8 for example, so the ordered pair (8,24) would NOT be in the solution set, whereas (8,23.99999999999999999999999999999999999) would be.
