Question

Which of the following is in the solution set of y< 8 x− 3? Select one: (7, 46) (7, 60) (10, 89) (9, 82)

Answer 1

Answer:

  (7, 46)

Step-by-step explanation:

The offered answer choices have x-values of 7, 9, 10. The corresponding upper limit of y-value is ...

  x=7 : y < 8·7 -3 = 53 . . . . . 46 is in the solution set, 60 is not

  x=9 : y < 8·9 -3 = 69 . . . . 82 is not in the solution set

  x=10 : y < 8·10 -3 = 77 . . . . 89 is not in the solution set

Of the choices offered, only (7, 46) is in the solution set.
