Hi, there--
The Problem:
Select an ordered pair from the choices below that is a solution to the following system of
inequalities:
Solution:
Solve the first inequality for y by dividing both sides by 10.
We see that y is greater then -2.
Solve the second equation for x by dividing both sides by 3.
"Three is greater than x" means the same thing as "x is less than three," so we can rearrange
this inequality to have x on the left hand side.
Now we know that x is a number that is less than three.
You did not list any ordered pairs, but you want one that fits the criteria for x and y. For example,
(x,y) =(-1,1) is a solution because -1 is less than 3 and 1 is greater than -2.
Please email if you have questions about this. (o:
