document.write( "I know that I would plug in 2 for the variable x so 2y-3(2)>2; 2y-6>2; add 6 to both sides and I'm left with 2y>4. If I divided 2 into 4 this leaves me with y>2?? Doesn't look right to me.

document.write( "Next, I would substitute 19 for the variable y in the inequality. Let's try.
\n" );
document.write( "2(19)-3x>2; 38-3x>2; Add 38 to both sides? 3x>40. Divide 3 on both sides; 13.33?? Doesn't look right either. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #270968 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help! Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality. (2,19); 2y-3x>2. Is the ordered pair a solution? \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x and for y and see if you get a true statement. \n" ); document.write( "2*19-3*2 > 2 \n" ); document.write( "38-6 > 2 \n" ); document.write( "32>2 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "That is true so (2,19) is one of the points in the solution set. \n" ); document.write( "=============== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
