Answer

This is a true statement; therefore, (3, -1) is a solution for this inequality.

Work Step by Step

If we plug in $3$ for $x$ and $-1$ for $y$, then we get: $$2(3) - 3(-1) \geq 6$$ Multiply out to simplify: $$6 + 3 \geq 6$$ Add to simplify: $$9 \geq 6$$ This is a true statement; therefore, (3, -1) is a solution for this inequality.
