Answer

The solution set of the system: \[\left\{ \begin{align} & x-y<1 \\ & 2x+3y\ge 12 \\ \end{align} \right\}\] The set of ordered pairs that satisfy \[x-y<1\] and\[2x+3y\ge 12\].

Work Step by Step

Consider the inequality, \[x-y<1\] And, \[2x+3y\ge 12\] Convert into equality sign, i.e., \[x-y=1\] …… (1) And, \[2x+3y=12\] ........ (2) Solve both of the equations individually, then start from equation (1) \[x-y=1\] Substitute\[x=0\]. Then, \[\begin{align} & -y=1 \\ & y=1 \end{align}\] And, when substitute\[y=0\]. Then, \[x=1\] Then, the line passes through \[\left( 0,-1 \right)\]and\[\left( 1,0 \right)\]. Solve the equation (2), \[2x+3y=12\] Substitute\[x=0\]. Then, \[\begin{align} & 3y=12 \\ & y=\frac{12}{3} \\ & =4 \end{align}\] And, when substitute\[y=0\]. Then, \[\begin{align} & 2x=12 \\ & x=\frac{12}{2} \\ & =6 \end{align}\] Then, the line passes through \[\left( 0,4 \right)\]and\[\left( 6,0 \right)\].
