Algebra.Com's Answer #93720 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The procedure is the same. \n" ); document.write( "If you find a variable value or two \n" ); document.write( "values for an inequality statement, \n" ); document.write( "substitute those values for the variable(s) \n" ); document.write( "and see if you get a true statement. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Example: \n" ); document.write( "3x + 4y >6 \n" ); document.write( "y > (-3/4)x + (3/2) \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Question: \n" ); document.write( "Is (0,0) part of the solution? \n" ); document.write( "Substitute to get 0 > (-3/4)*0+(3/2) \n" ); document.write( "0 > 3/2 \n" ); document.write( "That is false so (0,0) is not part of the solution. \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Is (0,5) part of the solution? \n" ); document.write( "Substitute to get 5 > (-3/2)*0+(3/2) \n" ); document.write( "5 > (3/2) \n" ); document.write( "That is true so (0,5) is part of the solution. \n" ); document.write( "======================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
