color(blue)(y<2xy<2x and

color(blue)(y > (6-2x)/3)y>62x3

Explanation:

We have two inequality expressions:

First expression is

color(blue)(y<2xy<2x

This inequality expression is already in simplified form.

Next expression is

color(blue)(2x+3y>6)2x+3y>6

We can simplify this expression by subtracting color(red)(2x)2x from both sides of the inequality.

rArr 2x+3y-2x>6-2x2x+3y2x>62x

In the next step we can cancel

rArr cancel(2x)+3y cancel(-2x)>6-2x

Hence, we get

rArr 3y >6-2x

Divide both sides of the inequality as shown below:

rArr (3y)/3 >(6-2x)/3

In the next step we can cancel

rArr (cancel(3)y)/cancel 3 >(6-2x)/3

Hence, our solution is

rArr y >(6-2x)/3

Hence we have two solutions

color(blue)(y<2x and

color(blue)(y > (6-2x)/3)

Please refer to the graphs below:

color(blue)(y<2x

Next expression is

color(blue)(2x+3y>6)

Our simplified expression is

color(blue)(y > (6-2x)/3)

We observe that the last two graphs represent the same inequality.

Hope this helps.
