How to tell if an ordered pair is a solution to a function

A) yes
B) yes
C) no

For each of these, substitute the value of x in the ordered pair into x in the function.

For A, x = -5; -5<2, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = 3.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=3, so yes, it is a solution.

For B, x = 2; 2≤2<6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = -x+1.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-1; -2+1=-1, so yes, it is a solution.

For C, x = 8; 8≥6, so the piece of the function we want is f(x) = x.  In our ordered pair, y=f(x)=-7; -7≠8, so no, it is not a solution.

Looks pretty good to me!

1) add 6 to 24, write the rest of the equation 10-2x= 30 subtract 10 from 30 2x=20 divide 20 by 2 and x=102) add 3 to -9 write the rest of the equation 4x+3=-6 subtract 3 from -6 4x=-9 x= -2.25  i don't know the rest sorry
