When solving inequalities???????????

With the key, when doing inequalities e.g  6x+7y>34 do you need to write the equation again or just region required when you shade the graph?

region required (shaded or blank) should be enough, label the x and y axis too
of course it won't hurt if u add the equation but it isn't necessary

Just make sure you're clear on what your required region is. Put a little key next to your graph showing whether the shaded part or the clear part is your required region. At our school, we got told that the clear part should always indicate the required region, but this does vary amongst students, so it's important your examiner understands your answer. Also, be careful with your calculator, because the Casio Classpad shades the required region in black and many students have actually 'blacked out' their required region by mistake.

they way i was taught was to shade the unnecessary parts and keep the part you want clear. Be sure to include the key off to the side somewhere.
and for having to repeat the equation, i dont think you need to, but as said before wouldn't hurt to include it

We were taught the opposite way round, to shade the required region and leave the unrequired region blank. Really either is fine as long as you have a key to show the examiner/teacher/marker what is what.

the reason why i was taught to shade the unwanted bits was because you may get more than one inequality, and they may ask you to find more than one reigion.
and that way the blank part is what you want rather than having to use differnt types of shading to see which part has all the types of shading
