Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks to shade the region that satisfies three inequalities, which are:
- (which simplifies to )
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Inequality 1:
This is the equation of a straight line with a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 6. The shaded region is below this line because is less than or equal to the line. -
Inequality 2:
This is another straight line equation , which passes through the origin with a slope of -1. The region above this line should be shaded as is greater than or equal to . -
Inequality 3:
This inequality indicates that the y-values must be strictly less than 6. This forms a horizontal boundary at , so the region below this line (but not including it) should be shaded.
Shading the Region:
To find the solution, we will need to identify the region that satisfies all three conditions simultaneously. This region is the area where all shaded regions from the inequalities overlap. Specifically:
- The region is below the line .
- It is above or on the line .
- It is strictly below the horizontal line .
Graphically:
- The line intersects the y-axis at and the x-axis at .
- The line passes through the origin and intersects the graph at and other points.
Thus, the region where all conditions meet is a triangular region, starting from , with boundaries formed by these lines and restricted below .

Tip: When solving inequalities graphically, always sketch the lines first, then decide which side of the line corresponds to the solution region.
