Question

Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality 3x-4y<12 ?

Answer 1

The ordered pair (2,-1) is a solution the inequality.

Given the inequality is 3x-4y<12.

An inequality is a statement that compares two quantities and claims that one is greater or less than the other (the equation may also be included). These inequalities are linear if the variables are only linear.

By substituting each of the given option in the given inequality we will check which ordered pair satisfy the inequality.

1. (4,0)

Here x=4 and y=0

Substitute this in the inequality 3x-4y<12, we get

3(4)-4(0)<12

12<12

This is not true

2. (0,-3)

Here x=3 and y=-3

Substitute this in the inequality 3x-4y<12, we get

3(0)-4(-3)<12

12<12

This is not true.

3. (2,-1)

Here x=2 and y=-1

Substitute this in the inequality 3x-4y<12, we get

3(2)-4(-1)<12

6+4<12

10<12

This is true.

4. (4,-3)

Here x=4 and y=-3

Substitute this in the inequality 3x-4y<12, we get

3(4)-4(-3)<12

12+12<12

24<12

This is not true.

Hence, the ordered pair that satisfy the given inequality 3x-4y<12 is (2,-1).
