Math Problem Statement
Which ordered pair is a solution to the inequality 7x - 3y > 10?
Solution
We are tasked with finding which ordered pair satisfies the inequality . Let's check each pair by substituting and values into the inequality:
1. For :
Since , this pair satisfies the inequality.
2. For :
Since , this pair does not satisfy the inequality.
3. For :
Since , this pair does not satisfy the inequality.
4. For :
Since , this pair does not satisfy the inequality.
Thus, the correct answer is the pair (2, 1).
