Question 20398: Does the point (-5, 2) satisfy the following compound inequality and how? Can someone help me with?
3x – 5y < 15 and 3x + 2y < 12
Thank you in advance. Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's easy to find out if the point (-5, 2) satisfies the given inequality.
Just substitute the x- and y-coordinates from the given point into the inequaltity.
and Both conditions must be true for the inequality to be satisfied. Substitute the x and y from the given point. ? ? TRUE!
? ? TRUE!
Since both conditions of the compound inequality have been met, the inequality is satisfied by the given pont.
