SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the system of inequalities defined by 2x + 3y - 4 > 0 and 3x - 4y + 5 > 0. The algebraic solution provided is (22/17) < y < infinity and (4/3)y - 85/51 < x < infinity, or -infinity < y < (22/17) and -(3/2)y + 68/34 < x < infinity. The original poster mistakenly categorized the problem as a challenge, which led to clarification on posting etiquette within the forum.

How about an algebraic solution

How about an algebraic solution

you posted a challenge problem without knowing the solution beforehand?

for $x > \dfrac{1}{17}$ , $\dfrac{4-2x}{3} < y < \dfrac{3x+5}{4}$
 
I think the question is in wrong section and the original poster is supposed to know the answer before posting.
secondly it is too simple to be in challenging section.
 
Hi solakis, thanks for posting at MHB!

I suppose you never realized you have been posted in the "Challenges" subforum.;) That is okay. No worries.

But I wish to tell you that in this subforum, if you posted a challenge problem here, that usually means you found a problem that is really intriguing and that you have solved it and wanted to share it with the community. In this case, your post is a challenge thread. Or, you found a problem (not a typical math problem) that intrigued you but you couldn't solve it, yet you are interested to know how other people might solve it, you could post that problem here and claimed it as Unsolved Challenge. I hope I have made myself clear.(Smile)

I welcome you to post again at the appropriate forum if you have any additional or future questions.
 
my algebraic solution without using graphing is:

(22/17)<y<infinity and (4/3)y-85/51<x<infinity

or

-infinity<y<(22/17) and -(3/2)y +68/34<x<infity

Later i will show in details how i got that solution.

Sorry for the delay but i had a lot of work to do
 
The solution of the system: 2x+3y-4=0, 3x-4y+5=0 are:
x=1/17 and y=22/17.

[sp]The solution of the system: 2x+3y-4=0, 3x-4y+5=0 are:
x=1/17 and y=22/17.

Now put:
x=1/17+n and y =22/17 +m ............(1)
and substituting those back to the original inequalities we get:

2m+3n>0 and 3m-4n>0
or
m>-(2/3)n and m>(4/3)n.........(2)
Now we have the following cases:
a)n is a positive No.Then from (2) we have:

m>(4/3)n and from this inequality and (1) we have:

22/17<y<infinity and (4/3)y-(85/51)<x<infinity.........(3)

b)for n negative ,then from (2) we have :

m>-(3/2)n,and from this inequality and (1) we have:

-infinity<y<22/17 and-(3/2)y+68/34<x<infinity..........(4)

Hence the solution of the inequalities are (3 ) ,(4)[/sp]
