John wants to tile his floor using tiles in the shape of a trapezoid. To make the pattern a little more interesting he has decided to cut the tiles in half along the
median. The top base of each tile is 14 inches in length and the bottom base is
20 inches. How long of a cut will John need to make so that he cuts the tiles
along the median? (Circle the correct answer.)
A.6 inches
B. 3 inches
C.34 inches
D. 17 inches

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
