Inequalities — practice question

The diagram displays the lines $x + y = 8$ and $2y = x + 4$.
(a)[2]

Three inequalities define the shaded region on the diagram. Write down those three inequalities.

(b)[1]

A different region, $R$, is given by the inequalities $x + y \leq 8$, $2y \leq x + 4$ and $y \geq a$, where $a$ is an integer. This region has $5$ points with integer coordinates. Write down the value of $a$.
