Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of males on the elevator
y ----> the number of females on the elevator
we know that
The inequality that represent this situation is
The solution of the inequality is the shaded area below the solid line
The slope of the solid line is negative
The y-intercept of the solid line is (0,18)
The x-intercept of the solid line is (15,0)
see the attached figure
The solution is the triangular shaded area
The maximum number of females is 18 (when the number of males is zero)
The maximum number of males is 15 (when the number of females is zero)
