To solve a system of inequalities we graph both of them.
The inequality representing their combined pay would be
. This is because Jane makes 12.50/hr, Jack makes 10.00/hr, and they want to make at least, so greater than or equal to, $750 combined.
The inequality representing their combined hours working would be
, since they do not want their combined hours to be over 65. In both of these inequalities, <em>x</em> represents the number of hours Jane works and <em>y</em> represent the number of hours Jack works.
To graph these, we solve both of them for <em>y</em>:
The attached screenshot shows what the graph looks like. Going to the point where they intersect, we see that the shaded region that satisfies both inequalities begins when Jane works 40 hours and Jack works 25.
