Question

16. If (2x+3y)< (x+5y) or x < y, then which of the follwong is true?​

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Given

`2x + 3y < x + 5y`

`x < y`

Required

Which option is true;

No option is given; so, I will just solve the inequality

`2x + 3y < x + 5y`

Collect like terms:

`2x - x < 5y - 3y`

Evaluate like terms

`x < 2y`

This implies that:

`x < 2y` and
`x < y`
