Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

If $(2,3)$ is a solution of a system of inequalities in $x$ and $y$, then plugging in $x=2,y=3$ into each inequality satisfies the expression. Plugging in $x=2,y=3$ into the first inequality, we get: $2(2)+4(3)=4+12=16\leq17$ Thus, this is satisfied. Plugging in $x=2,y=3$ into the second inequality, we get: $6(2)+5(3)=12+15=27\leq29$ Thus, this is also satisfied.
