Should be the part of the graph which is both under the line y = 2x +4 and over the line y = 1,5x +3

Considering one is mostly 3/2nds of the other, they intersect at x = -2.

Never used a graphical method to solve equations like that, but it seems obvious enough.

Ditto. IIRC, on the graph you're supposed to shade in everything that X can be, and then everything that Y can be, and then you have to shade what they have in common.

Edit: you shade in stuff I know you do

Double Edit: okay no I got it now you shade in all of the x,y values that can solve the first inequality, then all of the x,y values for the second one, then shade in what they have in common. Then, specifically for that question it's asking you to use an ordered pair from the section you shaded in to prove you're correct.

Math isn't my strong suit.

**** math. I used to be beast at algebra, but never was worth dick at graphical equations.

This sh** reminds me of those online IT video lectures I had last semester.







I kid you not, these are from the video lectures.

I thought you were supposed to finish algebra in high school.  The graph looks like crap but the problem is actually really straightforward as long as you don't shade anything till you're absolutely sure.

Yeah..

And no, you're actually supposed to solve the problem by shading in the stuff.

haha you guys totally missed the point I was talking about the guy's pathetic scribbling.

But yeah it's college alg and most of it is review but I stink at math anyway.
