Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Blue line: $5x-3y\le12$ Orange line: $y+2x\ge0$ Purple line: $y\le2$ To determine what sides of the lines to shade, we use a point not on the line. We can use (0,0) for the lines. Blue line: $5x-3y\le12$ $5*0-3*0\le12$ $0\le12$ (true, so we shade above the line) Orange line: $y+2x\ge0$ $0+2*0\ge0$ $0\ge0$ (true, so we shade the right side of the line) Purple line: $y\le2$ $0\le2$ (true, so we shade below the line) The solution area is the overlap of the three inequalities. In this case, the area is the triangle created at the three intersection points of $(-1,2)$, $(3.6, 2)$, and $(1.091, -2.182)$.
