Determine if (5,4) is a Solution x-y>2 , (5,4)

$x - y > 2$ , $(5, 4)$

Insert the values of $x = 5$ and $y = 4$ into the equation to find if the ordered pair is a solution.

$(5) - (4) > 2$

Simplify $(5) - (4)$ .

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$5 - 4 > 2$

Subtract $4$ from $5$ .

$1 > 2$

The inequality is never true.

No solution

Since the equation is not true when the values are used, the ordered pair is not a solution.

The ordered pair is not a solution to the equation.
