1. Problem Description

The problem asks how Stephanie can determine if the point (3,4)(3, -4) is a solution to the system of inequalities y<2x+3y < -2x + 3 and y>5x3y > 5x - 3.

2. Solution Steps

To determine if a point is a solution to a system of inequalities, substitute the xx and yy values of the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies all inequalities, it is a solution to the system.
In this case, the point is (3,4)(3, -4), so x=3x = 3 and y=4y = -4.
First, substitute these values into y<2x+3y < -2x + 3:
4<2(3)+3-4 < -2(3) + 3
4<6+3-4 < -6 + 3
4<3-4 < -3
This inequality is true.
Next, substitute the values into y>5x3y > 5x - 3:
4>5(3)3-4 > 5(3) - 3
4>153-4 > 15 - 3
4>12-4 > 12
This inequality is false.
Since the point (3,4)(3, -4) satisfies y<2x+3y < -2x + 3 but does not satisfy y>5x3y > 5x - 3, it is not a solution to the system.
The correct method to determine if the point is a solution to the system of inequalities is to substitute the point into each inequality. If the point satisfies both inequalities, it is a solution.

3. Final Answer

A. She could substitute 3 for x and -4 for y in each inequality. If the point satisfies both inequalities, it lies in the region that is a solution. Otherwise, it does not.
