Step by step
The question
Question: is (1, 2) a solution of y > 2x − 1.
y > 2x − 1
is (1, 2) a solution?
1 Read x and y
The first number is always x.
The second is y.
So x = 1 and y = 2.
(1, 2) → x = 1, y = 2
Careful!
Do not swap them.
The first number in (1, 2) is x.
Careful: not x = 2, y = 1 ✗
2 Put them in
Put x = 1 and y = 2 in.
2 >? 2(1) − 1
Work out each side.
2 >? 2 − 1
Is 2 more than 1?
Yes.
True!
2 > 1 true
It is true.
So (1, 2) is a solution.
(1, 2) is a solution
Let's look back.
First: read x and y.
Last: put them in.
Answer
(1, 2) is a solution
