Question 827466: Mr Flowers is on a restricted diet that allows him to have between 1600 and 2000 calories per day. His daily fat intake is restricted to between 45 and 55 grams. What daily calorie and fat intake are acceptable? Graph the solution set. List three possible solutions to the problem.
I can't seem to figure out the two inequalities I need in order to graph.
This is system of inequalities so we are also supposed to shade which I can't understand.

We could say that
x= calories per day, and
y= grams of fat per day.
With the variables so defined our system of inequalities is
system%28green%281600%29%3C=x%3C=green%282000%29%2Cblue%2845%29%3C=y%3C=blue%2855%29%29
Then the graph would be the boring red rectangle below, which should be shaded.


On the other hand, if we said that
x= grams of fat per day, and
y= calories per day , the graph would look flipped, as shown below.
