determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality
(-8,5);4x+y<-8
Is 4(-8) + 5 < -8 ?
To determine whether the ordered pair (-8, 5) is a solution of the inequality 4x + y < -8, you need to substitute the values of x and y into the inequality and check if the statement holds true.
Substitute x = -8 and y = 5 into the inequality:
4(-8) + 5 < -8
Simplifying the equation:
-32 + 5 < -8
-27 < -8
The inequality statement -27 < -8 is true. Therefore, the ordered pair (-8, 5) is indeed a solution of the inequality 4x + y < -8.
