Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Orange line: $y+2x\le4$ Green line: $y\le2$ Red line: $y\ge0$ Blue line: $x\ge0$ To determine what sides of the lines to shade, we use a point not on any lines, such as $(1,1)$. Orange line: $y+2x\le4$ $1+2*1\le4$ $1+2\le4$ $3\le4$ (true, so we shade the left side of the line) Green line: $y\le2$ $1\le2$ (true, so we shade under the line) Red line: $y\ge0$ $1\ge0$ (true, so we shade above the line) Blue line: $x\ge0$ $1\ge0$ (true, so we shade the right side of the line) The solution area is the overlap of the four shaded areas--the area bordered by the points $(0,0)$, $(0,2)$, $(1,2)$, and $(2,0)$.
