Solve The System of Inequalities by Graphing. 3y + 2x 3 6y - 4x - 24

This document contains examples of solving systems of inequalities from an Algebra 2 lesson. Example 1 shows how to find the region of intersection for two inequalities. Example 2 shows that if the graphs of two inequalities do not overlap, there is no solution. Example 3 writes a system of inequalities to represent the weight and size limits for Priority Mail packages. Example 4 finds the vertices of a quadrilateral formed by four inequalities by solving two systems of equations.

Lesson 3-3
Example 1 Intersecting Regions
Solve the system of inequalities.

y>x
2x + y 7
Solution of y > x
Regions 1 and 2
Solution of 2x + y 7 Regions 1 and 3
The region that provides a solution of both
inequalities is the solution of the system. Region 1
is the solution of the system.
Example 2 Separate Regions

Real-World Example 3 Write and Use a System of Inequalities


The U.S. Postal Service allows packages up to 70 pounds with a combined length and girth
not over 108 inches to be mailed under the classification of Priority Mail. Write and graph
a system of inequalities that represents the range of weights and combined length and girth
measures for Priority Mail. Source: The World Almanac
Let w represent the weight of packages in pounds. The acceptable weights are 0 to 70 pounds.
We can write a combined inequality.
0 w 70

Let m represent the combined length and girth


of a package. The acceptable measures can
also be written as a combined inequality.
0 m 108
Graph all of the inequalities. Any ordered pair in the intersection of the graphs is a solution of the
system. In this case, a solution of the system of inequalities is a potential weight and girth
combination for Priority Mail.
Example 4 Find Vertices
Find the coordinates of the vertices of the figure formed by y 6, x 4, y 2 + x, and y + 2x
7.

Graph each inequality. The intersection of the graphs forms a quadrilateral.


The coordinates (4, 6) and (4, 6) can be determined from the graph. To find the coordinates
of the other two vertices, you need to solve two systems.
System 1
y=6
y + 2x = 7
Substitute 6 for y into the second equation.
y + 2x = 7
Second equation
6 + 2x = 7
Replace y with 6.
2x = 1
Subtract 6 from each side.
1

x=2

Divide each side by 2.


1
2 , 6
The third vertex is
.
System 2
y + 2x = 7
y=2+x

Rewrite the equations and subtract to eliminate y.


y+2 = 7
()y x = 2
3x = 9
x=3

Subtract the equations.


Divide each side by 3.

Now find y by substituting 3 for x in the first equation.


y + 2x = 7
First equation
y + 2(3) = 7
Substitute 3 for x.
y+6=7
Multiply.
y=1
Subtract 6 from each side.
The fourth vertex is (3, 1).
