Once you graph the inequalities you can pick any integer solution in the feasible area.

Hint: Your feasible area is easier to see if you graph the inequalities with the opposite sense. That way it is the UNshaded area that remains that is the feasible area and you don't get confused with trying to see which area is the overlap of all four shaded areas.
