You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are working on an x-y plane that can easily be represented on 2-dimensional paper by 3-dimensional creatures like us.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3E=0\"$ , and $\"y%3E0\"$ just restrict you to the first quadrant in the x-y plane. And worse yet, the x-axis (y=0) is off limits.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2By=6\"$ is a line that crosses the x ans y axis at (0,6) and 6,0)
\n" ); document.write( "How can $\"x%2By%3C=6\"$ be represented?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2By%3C=6\"$ is the part of the x-y plane on the side of that line that contains the origin (0,0) because x=0 with y=0 satisfies those conditions.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2y=8\"$ is a line that crosses the x ans y axis at (0,6) and 8,0)
\n" ); document.write( "How can $\"x%2B2y%3C=8\"$ be represented?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2y%3C=8\"$ is the part of the x-y plane on the side of that line that contains the origin (0,0) because x=0 with y=0 satisfies those conditions.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B2y%3E=20\"$ is a similar restriction. The line going through (20/7,0) and (0,10) is included and so are all the points NOT between that line and the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "The intersection of those lines makes a triangle that defines your design space.
\n" ); document.write( "Do you need more help? \n" ); document.write( "
