Check: does the ordered pair make the first inequality true? Does the ordered pair make the second inequality true? Based on those two
answers, does the ordered pair solve the system?

Answer 1

To see if an ordered pair is a solution to an inequality, plug it into the inequality and simplify. If you get a true statement, then the ordered pair is a solution to the inequality. If you get a false statement, then the ordered pair is not a solution.
