Determining Whether an Ordered Pair is a Solution of a System of Linear Inequalities

To verify if a specific ordered pair serves as a solution to a system of linear inequalities, you must plug its xx and yy coordinates into every inequality within the system. After simplifying, if each resulting mathematical statement is true, then the ordered pair correctly solves the system. However, if substituting the coordinates makes even a single inequality false, the ordered pair fails as a solution, because a valid solution must satisfy all conditions simultaneously. This verification procedure is functionally identical to checking solutions for a system of linear equations.
