y<6x+2

For which of the following tables are all the values of x and their corresponding values of y solutions to the given inequality?


Tip: Press CTRL/Command to toggle answer
Correct Answer: C
Rationale

Choice C is correct. All the tables in the choices have the same three values of x, so each of the three values of x can be substituted in the given inequality to compare the corresponding values of y in each of the tables. Substituting 3 for x in the given inequality yields y<63+2, or y<20. Therefore, when x=3, the corresponding value of y is less than 20. Substituting 5 for x in the given inequality yields y<65+2, or y<32. Therefore, when x=5, the corresponding value of y is less than 32. Substituting 7 for x in the given inequality yields y<67+2, or y<44. Therefore, when x=7, the corresponding value of y is less than 44. For the table in choice C, when x=3, the corresponding value of y is 16, which is less than 20; when x=5, the corresponding value of y is 28, which is less than 32; when x=7, the corresponding value of y is 40, which is less than 44. Therefore, the table in choice C gives values of x and their corresponding values of y that are all solutions to the given inequality.

Choice A is incorrect. In the table for choice A, when x=3, the corresponding value of y is 20, which is not less than 20; when x=5, the corresponding value of y is 32, which is not less than 32; when x=7, the corresponding value of y is 44, which is not less than 44.

Choice B is incorrect. In the table for choice B, when x=5, the corresponding value of y is 36, which is not less than 32.

Choice D is incorrect. In the table for choice D, when x=3, the corresponding value of y is 24, which is not less than 20; when x=5, the corresponding value of y is 36, which is not less than 32; when x=7, the corresponding value of y is 48, which is not less than 44.
