Full solution

Q. Is (2,1)(2,\,1) a solution to the inequality 3x+9y173x + 9y \geq 17 ?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
  1. Substitute values: Substitute the values (2,1)(2, 1) into the inequality 3x+9y173x + 9y \geq 17. The substituted inequality is 3(2)+9(1)173(2) + 9(1) \geq 17.
  2. Perform calculations: Perform the calculations on the left side of the inequality. Simplify 3(2)+9(1)3(2) + 9(1) to get 6+96 + 9.
  3. Find sum: Add the numbers together to find the sum. 6+96 + 9 equals 1515.
  4. Compare with right side: Compare the result from Step 33 with the right side of the inequality. We have 151715 \geq 17.
  5. Check inequality: Determine if the inequality holds true. Since 1515 is not greater than or equal to 1717, the inequality 151715 \geq 17 is false. Therefore, the point (2,1)(2, 1) is not a solution to the inequality 3x+9y173x + 9y \geq 17.
