A) Isolate y in both inequalities

1) x + y ≥ 4 => y ≥ 4 - x
2) y < 2x - 3

B) Draw the lines for the following equalities:

1) y = 4 - x
2) y = 2x - 3

C) Shade the regions of solutions

1) The region that is over the line y = 4 - x
2) The region that is below the line y = 2x - 3

The solution is the intersection of both regions; this is the sector between both lines that is to the right of the intersection point, including the portion of the very line y = 4 - x and excluding the portion of the very line y = 2x - 3
