Answer

$x\geq0$ $x\leq15$ $y\leq15$ $y\geq x$ $y\leq-x+50$

Work Step by Step

There are two vertical lines: x=0 and x=15 The area is to the right of x=0, so $x\geq0$. It is to the left of x=15, so $x\leq15$. There is one horizontal line: y=15. The area is over y=15, so $y\geq15$. There are two linear functions. One has a slope of $m=\frac{20-15}{20-15}=\frac{5}{5}=1$ and a y-intercept of (0,0). The area is over that line, so $y\geq x$. The other linear function has a slope of $m=\frac{30-50}{20-0}=\frac{-20}{20}=1$ and a y-intercept of (0,50). The area is under that line, so $y\leq-x+50$.
