------
Equation:
p + s <= 20 hours
15p + 10s >= 90 dollars
-------------------------
Using "p" as the dependent variable you would get::
Inequalities::
p <= -s + 20
p >= (-2/3)s + 6
--------
Graph p = -s + 20 and shade the half-plane below that boundary.
Graph p = (-2/3)s + 6 and shade the half-plane above that boundary.
