Solve each of the following systems of simultaneous inequations:

2x + y>1 and 2x - y - 3


Consider the inequation 2x + y>1:


y>1 - 2x


Consider the equation y = 1 - 2x


Finding points on the coordinate axes:


If x = 0, the y value is 1 i.e, y = 1


the point on Y axis is A(0,1)


If y = 0, 0 = x + 2


x =


The point on the X axis is B(,0)


Plotting the points on the graph: fig. 7a


Now consider the inequality y>1 - 2x


Here we need the y value greater than x + 2


the required region is below point A.


Therefore the graph of the inequation y>1 - 2x is fig. 7b

Consider the inequation 2x - y 3


y2x - 3


Consider the equation y = 2x - 3


Finding points on the coordinate axes:


If x = 0, the y value is - 3 i.e, y = - 3


the point on the Y axis is C(0, - 3)


If y = 0, 0 = 2x + 3


x =


The point on the X axis is D(,0)


Plotting the points on the graph: fig. 7c


Now consider the inequality y2x - 3


Here we need the y value less than or equal to 2x - 3


the required region is below point C.


Therefore the graph of the inequation y2x - 3 is fig. 7d

Combining the graphs 7c and 7d, we’ll get,



The solution of the system of simultaneous inequations is the intersection region of the solutions of the two given inequations.
