Solve the following system of inequalities graphically:

4x + 3y ≤ 60, y ≥ 2x, x ≥ 3, x, y ≥ 0

Given,


4x + 3y ≤ 60,


Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of


y = 20 and x = 15


The required points are (0, 20) and (15, 0)


Checking for the origin (0, 0)


0 ≤ 60, this is true.


Hence the origin would lie in the solution area. The required area would include be on the left of the line`s graph.


y ≥ 2x,


Putting value of x = 0 and y = 0 in equation one by one, we get value of


y = 0 and x = 0


Hence the line would pass through origin.


To check which side would be included in the line`s graph solution area, we would check for point (15, 0)


0 ≥ 15, this is not true so the required solution area would be to the left of the line’s graph.


x ≥ 3,


For any value of y, the value of x would be same.


Also the origin (0, 0) doesn’t satisfies the inequality as 0 ≥ 3


So the origin doesn’t lies in the solution area, hence the required solution area would be the right of the line`s graph.


x, y ≥ 0


Since given both x and y are greater than 0


the solution area would be in the first Ist quadrant only.


The shaded area in the graph shows the solution area for the given inequalities
