y≥x+2 and y>2x+3 is true when you are inside the darker area except on the dotted line.

Explanation:

To respect conditions, you need to respect each of them.

Step 1 : Make a graph of all the points who is respecting y≥x+2

All the blue area regards the first condition.
Example : The point A(0,4) respects y≥x+2 because 4 ≥ 0+2

Step 2 : Do the same thing on the same graph with y>2x+3
Be careful we have a ">" and not "≥" i.e : If a point is on the linear equation : "y = 2x+3" (the dotted line) it won't respect the 2nd condition.

Then we have this result :

A(0;4) is in the darker area <=> A respect y≥x+2 and y>2x+3

-> color(green)(4>=0+2)
-> color(green)(4>=2*0+3)

Note : Sorry for my English ;)
