A farmer supplies his neighbours with x pumpkins and y melons daily, using the following conditions: First condition: y ≥ 3; Second condition: y ≤ x; Third condition: the total number of pumpkins and melons must not exceed 12.

Determine, from your graph, the minimum values of x and y which satisfy the conditions.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
