Question

Which of the following is in the solution set of y<6x-6

(6,44)
(3,9)
(5,39)
(3,15)

Answer 1

(3, 9)

Explanation:

I found it easier to check the offered answers by factoring the inequality to

... y < 6(x -1)

Put the x- and y-values in the above inequality and see if they work.

a: 44 < 6(5) . . . not true

b: 9 < 6(2) . . . TRUE

c: 39 < 6(4) . . . not true

d: 15 < 6(2) . . . not true
