Answer:
x is any number less than -64; i.e. -66
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequality
3x + 23y - 15 < 0
where point (x,9) satisfies this
Substitute 9 for y
3x + 23(9) - 15 < 0
3x + 207 - 15 < 0
3x + 192 < 0 Take away 192 from both sides
3x < -192 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
x < -64
Check:
3(-64) + 23(9) -15 < 0
-192 + 207 - 15 < 0
-192 + 192 < 0
Therefore x must be less that -64 to satisfy the point (x, 9) in this inequality.
