I'm having problems graphing the inequalities and finding the corner points for the following:

x+y>=14
2x+y>=20
x+y>=24
x>=0
y>=0

Thankyou in advance.

Draw the lines assuming equality.

Shade the valid section - according to inequality.

Tell us exactly what part you are missing.
 
don't forget to draw dashed lines on signs that are not under lined and draw solid lines for the signs that are underlined
 
Hello, freeze44!

Exactly where is your difficulty?
. . You can't graph lines?
. . You can't shade the correct regions?

And are you sure you copied the problem correctly?
The inequalities are rather silly ones . . .


\(\displaystyle \begin{Bmatrix} x+y &\geq & 14 \\ 2x+y &\geq& 20 \\ x+y &\geq& 24 \\ x &\geq & 0 \\ y &\geq& 0 \end{Bmatrix}\)

From \(\displaystyle x \geq 0,\:y \geq 0\), we are limited to Quadrant 1.

The line, \(\displaystyle x+y\:=\:14\), has intercepts (14,0) and (0,14).
. . Shade the region above the line.

The line \(\displaystyle 2x+y \:=\:20\) has intercepts (10,0) and (0,20).
. . Shade the region above the line.

The line \(\displaystyle x+y \:=\:24\) has intercepts (24,0) and (0,24).
. . Shade the region above the line.


The region that satisfies all three inequalities (shaded three times) looks like this:


Code:
        |::::::::::::
     24 *:::::::::::::
        | *::::::::::::
        |   *:::::::::::
        |     *::::::::::
        |       *:::::::::
        |         * :::::::
    - - + - - - - - * - - - -
        |          24
