3x-y%3E=5
There are different way to solve this, one way we will use is choosing values for x and solving the equation for y.
x=1
3%281%29-y%3E=5
3-y%3E=5
-y%3E=5-3
-y%3E=2
y%3C=-2
first point (1,-2)
x=2
3%282%29-y%3E=5
6-y%3E=5
-y%3E=5-6
-y%3E=-1
y%3C=1
point 2;
(2,1)
x=-1
3%28-1%29-y%3E=5
-3-y%3E=5
-y%3E=5%2B3
-y%3E=8
y%3C=-8
3rd point;
(-1,-8)
since it is less than or equal to; you need to connect the points with a solid line and shade the whole are to the left of the line.
