Jose wants to buy hamburgers at $2 each and french fries at $1 each, but he only has up to $15 to spend, and he can only buy up to 10 items total. What are the possible combinations Jose can have of hamburgers and french fries?

so if you graph this system, the equation 2x+y<=15 will have a y intercept of 15 and an x intercept of 7.5. If you graph the equation x+y<=10, the y intercept is 10 and the x intercept is 10. The point where both x and y are equal for both equations is x=5, y =5 (5,5). But since it's an inequality there is some shading involved that shows all the allowable solution combinations.
