# Math Help - feasible region

1. ## feasible region

which is in the feasible region of thr system of inequalities.

4x=y less or equal than 8
2x+5y less or equal than 18
x greater 0, y greater 0
my answer is (2,4) is this right, thanks for checking my answer.

Inequalities have many solutions, a region of solutions. Not only one point.
Equations, though, have few solutions. Maybe one point only.

Go see zasi's post "Help" in the "Pre-Algebra and Algebra" section of this Forum. It should be close to the top of the list because it's new. The topic is about inequalities.

3. Hello, kwtolley!

Your typo certainly doesn't help . . .

Which is in the feasible region of the system of inequalities?
. . Were some choices given?

4x=y less or equal than 8 ??
2x+5y less or equal than 18
x greater 0, y greater 0

Is this right?

I'll take a guess at the correct statements . . .

. . . $\begin{Bmatrix}4x + y \:\leq \:8 \\ 2x + 5y \:\leq \:18 \\ x \:\geq\:0 \\ y\:\geq\:0\end{Bmatrix}$

. . Does your point $(2,4)$ satisfy all four inequalities?
