$2 x - 5 y = 3$ , $x + 4 > 2 y$

Introduce slack variables $u$ and $v$ to replace the inequalities with equations.

$x + 4 - Z = 2 y$

$2 x - 5 y - 3 = 0$

Move $2 y$ to the left side of the equation because it contains a variable.

$x + 4 - Z - 2 y = 0$

$2 x - 5 y - 3 = 0$

Move $4$ to the right side of the equation because it does not contain a variable.

$x - Z - 2 y = - 4$

$2 x - 5 y - 3 = 0$

Move $3$ to the right side of the equation because it does not contain a variable.

$x - Z - 2 y = - 4$

$2 x - 5 y = 3$

Write the system of equations in matrix form.
