What ordered pair is ta solution of the inequality 5y-3 is less than or equal to 7?

Question

(3,5)?

-2,-5)?

(-2,4)?

Answer 1

5y - 3 ≤ 7

5y ≤ 7+3

5y ≤ 10

y ≤ 2

 

Since this inequality only involves variable y, I have some doubts about the correctness of the phrasing of the question.

As it is, the ordered pair, containing x=3, does not satisfy the inequality; the others do because x=-2 is < 2.

 

Answer 2

If 5y - 3 ≤ 7, then 

 

5y ≤ 10

 

y ≤ 2
