Which of the following is a solution of y + x < -5? (-4, -2) (-3, -2) (-2, -3) (-1, -3)

FIRST OPTION: (-4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality , substitute each solution given in the options:

1) For (-4, -2) :

(This is true)

2) For (-3, -2):

(This is not true)

3) For (-2, -3):

(This is not true)

4) For (-1, -3):

(This is not true)

You can observe that (-4, -2) is a solution of

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
