Feasibility Region 2Ff7Ba
1. **State the problem:** We need to graph and find the feasibility region for the system of inequalities:
1) $5 + 3x \leq 2 + 4x$
2) $x - 4 \leq 4x - 1$
3) $2 + 3(4x - 2) \geq 20$
2. **Rewrite each inequality in simpler form:**
For (1):
$$5 + 3x \leq 2 + 4x$$
Subtract $3x$ and $2$ from both sides:
$$5 - 2 \leq 4x - 3x$$
$$3 \leq x$$
So, $$x \geq 3$$
For (2):
$$x - 4 \leq 4x - 1$$
Subtract $x$ and add $4$ to both sides:
$$-4 + 4 \leq 4x - x - 1 + 4$$
$$0 \leq 3x + 3$$
Subtract $3$:
$$-3 \leq 3x$$
Divide by $3$:
$$-1 \leq x$$
So, $$x \geq -1$$
For (3):
$$2 + 3(4x - 2) \geq 20$$
Expand:
$$2 + 12x - 6 \geq 20$$
Simplify:
$$12x - 4 \geq 20$$
Add $4$:
$$12x \geq 24$$
Divide by $12$:
$$x \geq 2$$
3. **Combine all inequalities:**
$$x \geq 3, \quad x \geq -1, \quad x \geq 2$$
The strongest condition is $$x \geq 3$$.
4. **Interpretation:**
The feasibility region is all $x$ values greater than or equal to $3$. Since these inequalities only involve $x$, the region is a half-line on the number line starting at $x=3$ and extending to positive infinity.
5. **Graph description:**
- Draw the vertical line $x=3$.
- Shade the region to the right of this line (including the line).
6. **Final answer:**
The feasibility region is $$\boxed{x \geq 3}$$.
