For simple integer factors as this one has, you want to find two values for the quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c.   Let the two values be j and k.  These two values must satisfy two conditions.

jk=ac=10 and j+k=b=11, so j and k must be 1 and 10.

Now replace bx with jx and kx...

2x^2+x+10x+5  now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.

x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)

(x+5)(2x+1)

algol [13]
(0,3.75)(15,0)
slope(m) = (0 - 3.75) / (15 - 0) = -3.75/15 = - 0.25 or -1/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/4
(15,0)...x = 15 and y = 0
now we sub
0 = -1/4(15) + b
0 = -15/4 + b
15/4 = b

y = -1/4x + 15/4
1/4x + y = 15/4....multiply by 4
x + 4y = 15.....and since it is a solid line, it contains an equal sign...and since it is shaded above the line, it is greater.
so ur inequality is : x + 4y > = 15 (thats greater then or equal)
