Let = bags of apples bought
Let = bunches of bananas bought
given:
= amount spent on apples
= amount spent on bananas

If I plot on the vertical axis
and on the horizontal axis, I get

The safe area is either on the line
or under it. For instance, if I get 5 bunches of
bananas, it looks like I can't get 1 bag of apples
without going over the line.

All I can get is 1/2 a bag of apples, as seen on the graph
