is the ordered pair a solution of the inequality? (6,15); 8y-9x>8
well, plug in the numbers and see . . .
8(15) - 9(6) = 120 - 54 = 66
Is 66 > 8?
To determine if the ordered pair (6,15) is a solution of the inequality 8y-9x > 8, you need to substitute the values of x and y into the inequality and check if the inequality holds true.
Let's substitute the values x = 6 and y = 15 into the inequality:
8(15) - 9(6) > 8
Simplifying the equation:
120 - 54 > 8
66 > 8
Since 66 is indeed greater than 8, the inequality holds true. Therefore, the ordered pair (6,15) is a solution of the inequality 8y-9x > 8.
