Isolate the variable, graph and shade below the dotted line.

Explanation:

First, isolate the #y# variable.

#2x+y<603#
#y<-2x+603#

Next, graph the equation by placing the y intercept as #603# and creating a slope of #-2#.
graph{-2x+603 [-5, 5, 593, 613]}

Since #y# is less than #2x+603#, shade the area below the line and since it is not less than or equal to, dot the line.
