Question

Is (2, -4) a solution to the inequality 2x - 3y < 15? Yes or No

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

We substitute the values x = 2 and y = -4 into the inequality.

Left side = 2(2) - 3(-4) = 4 + 12

= 16

Now the right side is 15 so we get 16 < 15 which is incorrect.

So (2, -4) is not a solution.
