y > 4x + 8For which of the following tables are all the values of x and their corresponding values of y solutions to the given inequality?
Correct answer: A. A
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
- D. D
Explanation
Choice A is correct. In each choice, the values of x are 2, 4, and 6. Substituting the first value of x, 2, for x in the given inequality yields y > 4(2) + 8, or y > 16. Therefore, when x=2, the corresponding value of y must be greater than 16. Of the given choices, only choice A is a table where the value of y corresponding to x=2 is greater than 16. To confirm that the other values of x in this table and their corresponding values of y are also solutions to the given inequality, the values of x and y in the table can be substituted for x and y in the given inequality. Substituting 4 for x and 30 for y in the given inequality yields 30 > 4(4) + 8, or 30 > 24. which is true. Substituting 6 for x and 41 for y in the given inequality yields 41 > 4(6) + 8, or 41 > 32. , which is true. It follows that for choice A, all the values of x and their corresponding values of y are solutions to the given inequality.

About Quantitative Reasoning
Quantitative reasoning applies arithmetic and basic algebra to numerical relationships, including percentages, ratios, averages, fractions, proportions, profit and loss, rates, time, work and measurement. Questions focus on translating words into equations, choosing an efficient method and checking whether the result is numerically reasonable.
