The dark blue triangle is the solution

You must represent each graph in the euclidean plane

#y>-5# are all points of plane having second coordinate bigger than -5

#x>3# are all the points of plane having first coordinate bigger than 3

Finally, #2x+y<13# are the points of plane below the line represented by #y=13-2x#

The interception points can be calculated by

#y=13-2x#
#y=-5#

So, #-5=13-2x# hence #x=-9# Intercep. Point #(-9, -5)#

The other two points can be found in the same way

The intersection of three areas is the searched solution
