To solve correctly, graph both inequalities. The solution is where they overlap. See attachment for graph. Which coordinate is plotted in the overlapping section?

If you don't have the tools to graph them, then plug each coordinate into both inequalities. The coordinate that makes a true statement for BOTH inequalities, is the answer.

(0, 4): 4 > -2 TRUE 0 + 4 < 4 FALSE

(-3, 5): 5 > -2 TRUE -3 + 5 < 4 TRUE THIS IS THE ANSWER!

(1, 4): 4 > -2 TRUE 1 + 4 < 4 FALSE

(-2, -3): -3 > -2 FALSE

Answer: (-3, 5)
