A+P < 5
A>2P
Plot 2 points for the 1st inequality (5,0) and (0,5) with a line connecting them.
It's a downward sloping line with slope =-1
For the 2nd inequality plot (0,0) and (2,1) It's an upward sloping line with slope = 1/2.
Pears are measured on the x or P horizontal axis, Apples on the y or vertical A axis.
Make the 2nd line dotted, as it does not include points on the line
shade below the 1st line and above the 2nd line. where they overlap is the solution set
P
Apples Pears
0 5 or less
1 4 or less
2 3, 2 or 1
3 2 or 1
4 1
5 0
the above possibilities satisfy the 1st equation, they sum to 5 or less
but the only ones that have A=2P or more, are (5,0) or (1,4)
5 apples and no pears or 1 apple and 4 pears
She either has 5 apples and no pears
or 1 apple and 4 pears
