system%28green%28x%2B2y%3C=8%29%2C+red%282x%2By%3C=0%29%2C+x%3E=0%2C+y%3E=0%29
Solve the first two for y
system%28green%28y%3C=%288-x%29%2F2%29%2C+red%28y%3C=-2x%29%2C+x%3E=0%2C+y%3E=0%29
plot the boundary equations, which are the original inequalities
with equal signs in place of inequality signs.
system%28green%28x%2B2y=8%29%2C+red%282x%2By=0%29%2C+x=0%2C+y=0%29
The last two are the y and x axes, respectively.
x%3E=0 says we are on to the right of the y-axis,
and y%3E=0%29 says we are on or above the x-axis,

Since the inequalities for the green and red lines are both
%22%22%3C=%22%22, the solution set is on or under both of them,
on or right of the y-axis, and on or above the x-axis.
There is only one point that satisfies all these, and that
is the one point (0,0), the origin.
So the solution set is { (0,0) }
