The correct question is
<span>A 15-foot ladder is leaning against a house. the base of the ladder is 4 feet from the house. to the nearest tenth of a foot. </span>How high up the house does the ladder reach?
see the picture attached to better understand the problem
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
15²=4²+h²-----> h²=15²-4²-----> h²=225-16----> h=√209
h=14.46 ft------> h=14.5 ft
the answer is
14.5 ft

The two inequalities can be rewritten as
The solution is composed by every point below the graph of the line , and above the horizontal line
To draw the line we can build a little table (only 2 points are required):
So, if you draw the points (0,2) and (1, -2) and connect them, you'll have your line.
To draw the line , simply pick any point with y coordinate -2, for example (0, -2), and draw a horizontal line.
Choose the above/below areas as specified above to solve the system.
