Detemrine the solution:
In order to determine the solution we simply choose a value of x and y from the given choices, which when substituted, the equation will be true. Hence, we will try each set of choices.
( 6 , 2 )
2 - 6 > -3
-4 > -3
False since -4 is less than -3.
( 2 , 6)
6 - 2 > -3
4 > -3
True, since 4 is greater than -3, it can be easily determined since 4 does not contain a negative sign.
(-1, 2 )
- 1 - 2 > -3
- 3 > - 3
False, since they are both equal.
Final answer:
( 2, 6)
