Enter y = 3(4 - 2x) for Y1 and
y = 5 - x for Y2.

Set up the shading.
Since the inequality being
solved is Y1
≥
Y2, the solu-
tion is where the graph of Y1
is “on the top” and Y2 is “on
the bottom.”

Find where the graphs intersect and
solve the inequality.
The point of intersection is
(1.4, 3.6). Since the shaded
region is to the left of x = 1.4,
the solution to the inequality
3(4 - 2x)
≥
5 - x is all values
of x such that x
≤
1.4.

Graphical solution methods not only offer instructive visualization of the solution
process, but they can be applied to inequalities that are often difficult to solve
algebraically. The EL-9650/9600c allows the solution region to be indicated visually
using the Shade feature. Also, the points of intersection can be obtained easily.
