The ordered pair (3,-2) is a solution to the system of inequalities, Y< x -3, Y> -x -2

We can't give you the answer, but we can help you. Did you plug in your x and y value? If so, what do you come up with?

-2<3-3, -2>-3--2 The second half of the equation is wrong if y=-2. -3 takeaway -2 means -3 + 2, which equals -1. -2 is not bigger than -1 it is smaller than.

So the answer is false.

That's what I got.

-3 takeaway -2 means -3 + 2, which equals -1. -2 is not bigger than -1 it is smaller than.

So the answer is false.

I disagree. In the original post the OP wrote that the second inequality to evaluate is: Y > -x - 2. But here you are using Y > -x -(-2). Check your minus signs!

2 negatives become a positive, right? I come up with -1 on the second part as well. -2 is not greater than -1, so the answer would be false, right? Unless I am missing a step, which I could be. It has been a while.

My point was that given Y> -x-2, if you substitiue -2 for Y and +3 for x and you get:

-2 > -(3)-2, or

-2 > -5

which is true.

Ahh yes I see what my mistake was.
