The greater then or equal to sign is throwing me off... do i solve it normally?

akshay_budhkar · Answer

ok, two ways of solving it.. btw hey sweden :D

anonymous · Answer

Hey Akshay, thanks for helping me!

akshay_budhkar · Answer

one is you graph the two inequalities

akshay_budhkar · Answer

which can be done by first plotting the line , then finding the area in which the inequality is satisfied.. Doing that for both the inequalities you get a common area which is your solution.. So u have to see which point lies in that area

akshay_budhkar · Answer

The second is more simpler

anonymous · Answer

OKay...

akshay_budhkar · Answer

u just substitute the points given in the two inequalities above and see which point satisfies both the equations :D that is your answer :D
