2) x-y is greater than or equal to 3
3) 3x-2y < 7 Tnx for your help..

i will do #1
x + y > 8
2 2 = 4 no
2 3 = 5 no
…
2 6 = 8 no (not >y
2 7 = 9 OK
if x = 2, y =9 is only solution… (2,9) is in the set.
repeat for other values of x….
however, it is probably easier to solve for one variable to see what you need, i.e.,:
y > 8 – x
x = 2, y > 6… y = 7 only………. (2,7)
x = 3, y > 5, y = 6, 7……………(3,6), (3,7)
x = 4, y > 4…. ……………………..(4,5), (4,6), (4,7)
x = 5, y > 3 ………………………(5,4) (5,5), (5,6), (5,7)
x = 6, y >2 (6,3), (6,4)..to (6,7)
x = 7, y >1 (7,2), (7,3)…. to (7,7)
repeat same concept for #2 and #3
