From above, we have
2w+%2B+1t+%3E=+60
Solve for w to get
w+%3E=+%28-1%2F2%29t+%2B+30
the w intercept is 30
the t intercept is 60
here is the equation of the line. shade up and away from you.
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+70%2C+-10%2C+70%2C+%28-1%2F2%29x%2B30%29+
ends up looking like this
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+70%2C+-10%2C+70%2C+y+%3E=%28-1%2F2%29x%2B30%29+
