5%3C=F%3C=12
0%3C=P%3C=9
P%2BF=12
The x-axis represents the number of full time employees bounded by the blue lines.
The y-axis represents the number of part time emplotees bounded by the x-axis and the green line.
The red line represents the total number of employees.
The values contained in the triangle marked by the circles represents all of the possible choices.

From the graph, one possible choices is 7 full time employees and 5 part time employees, but again, any choice within the 3 circle triangle will also work.
