A linear programming algorithm is called genuinely polynomial if it requires no more than $p(m,n)$ arithmetic operations to solve problems of order $m \times n$, where p is a polynomial. It is not known whether such an algorithm exists. We present a genuinely polynomial algorithm for the simpler problem of solving linear inequalities with at most two variables per inequality. The number of operations required is $O(mn^3 \log {\text{m}})$. The technique used was developed in a previous paper where a novel binary search idea was introduced.
