Explanation needed for how X and x are used in the problem.
X-2y%3C=4 contains no x.

The line boundary between the two dimensional regions contain infite points.
Just pick any X you want and find the corresponding y.
-2y%3C=4%2BX
y%3E=-2-X%2F2
highlight_green%28y%3E=-X%2F2-2%29;

If instead you want the x-intercept for the reference line, then just set y=0
and solve for X. This must be what you are really after finding.
Going back to the original inequality, X-2y%3C=4, if y=0, then
X-2%2A0%3C=4
X%3C=4
you really want X=4.
