Answer:

We have the system:

y > 2*x

y > 3

Now, let's find the limits:

taking y > 3, we can see the limit y = 3.

Now we replace it in the first inequality:

3 > 2*x

3/2 > x.

Then we have that:

y > 3

x < 3/2

Those two inequalities define our system.

So any ordered pair where x is smaller than 3/2 and y is larger than 3, is a solution.

or example:

(1, 3.5) is a solution.
