Evaluating Floor Plan Compliance

As an assistant manager at a home furnishings store, you use the linear inequality y>2x+3y > 2x + 3 to verify whether a proposed walkway layout leaves enough clearance space. In this formula, xx represents the number of shelf display racks in a row, and yy represents the clearance aisle space in meters. You are asked to review a layout option represented by the ordered pair (3,12)(3, \frac{1}{2}).

In essay format, recall and describe the step-by-step mathematical procedure to check if this layout complies with the clearance requirements. Your response must include:

  1. Identification of which coordinate value is substituted for xx and which is substituted for yy.
  2. The initial mathematical expression obtained immediately after substituting these coordinates.
  3. The calculation and simplification steps for the right-hand side of the inequality.
  4. The final simplified inequality and an explanation of whether this resulting statement is true or false.
  5. A final conclusion on whether the ordered pair (3,12)(3, \frac{1}{2}) is a solution to the safety inequality.
