Step 1
To determine if the ordered pair given in the problem is a solution to the inequality we must substitute a follows:
Substitute 3 for x
Substitute 13 for y
y > 2 x + 1
Becomes:
13 > ( 2 × 3 ) + 1
Calculating out the right side of the inequality gives:
13 > 6 + 1
13 > 7
13 is in fact greater than 7 therefore this ordered pair is a solution to the inequality.
