Ok for this problem:

y<x (line underneath the alligator)
y> x-2

do I have to add x to each side and get 2y>x?? Let me know if that's right or wrong, thanks! Also for this one:

0<x-4<3

would I have to add 4 to get 0<x<7? Let me know if thats right or wrong too! Thanks so much!

What are your instructions? It can be rewirtten, if you like. x-2 < y <= x

Generally, graph this y = x, then graph this, y = x - 2. Decide whether to include the lines. Check a point in each defined region and see what works.

0<x-4<3

Nice try, but that +4 must go EVERYWHERE. 4 < x < 7 However, I still don't know the actual problem statement.

Generally, graph this x = 4, then graph this, x = 7. Decide whether to include the lines. Check a point in each defined region and see what works.
 
Statements of the problems

the instructions are to solve the system by graphing for the first one and the second one is solve and graph.
 
Great. Let's see you graph those lines and see what pops out.
