The inequality is
.
Subtract x from each side.
\

Divide each side by 2.
\


Consider the graph of
.
First determine the boundary by graphing
, the equation you obtain by replacing inequality sign with an equals sign.
Since the inequality involves x-values less than or equal to
, the line should be dashed.
\
The boundary divides the coordinate plane in to two half planes.
\ 
Note: a dashed line on a coordinate plane indicates that the boundary is not part of the solution set.
\To determine which half plane contains the solution, choose a point from each half plane and test it in the inequality.
\Try
. So, substitute x = 4, y = 4 in
.

LCM of 2, 2 is 2.
\

Since the statement is false.
Try
. So, substitute
in
.

LCM of 2, 2 is 2.
\

Since the statement is true.
The half plane that contains
contains the solution. Shade that half plane.
