Question

Which of the following is a solution of y + x < -5?

(-4, -2)
(-3, -2)
(-2, -3)
(-1, -3)

Answer 1

The answer is A.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

FIRST OPTION: (-4, -2)

Explanation:

Given the inequality
`y + x < -5`, substitute each solution given in the options:

1) For (-4, -2) :

`(-2)+ (-4) < -5`

`-6 < -5` (This is true)

2) For (-3, -2):

`(-2)+ (-3) < -5`

`-5 < -5` (This is not true)

3) For (-2, -3):

`(-3)+ (-2) < -5`

`-5 < -5` (This is not true)

4) For (-1, -3):

`(-3)+ (-1) < -5`

`-4 < -5` (This is not true)

You can observe that (-4, -2) is a solution of
`y + x < -5`
