Find the linear inequalities for which the shaded region in the given figure is the solution set.

First consider the linear equation x + y = 8, Observe that the shaded region and the origin both are on the same side of the graph of the line and (0, 0) satisfy the constraint x + y ≤ 8.


Now, consider x + y = 4, observe that the origin is on the opposite side of the shaded region and (0, 0) doesn’t satisfy the constraint x + y ≥ 4, therefore required constraint is x + y ≥ 4


Also, shaded region is in the first quadrant i.e. x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0,


Also, shades region is below the line y = 5 and left to the line x = 5


y ≤ 5 and x ≥ 5


Hence, the linear inequalities are


x + y ≤ 8


x + y ≥ 4


x ≥ 0


y ≥ 0


x ≤ 5


y ≤ 5
