We have

x is the number of hour working as a lifeguard

y is the number of hour washing cars

The first inequality is


x+y\le15

we isolate the y


y\le15-x

the second inequality is


13x+8y\ge160

then we isolate the y


y\ge(160-13x)/(8)

then we will plot the inequalities

We have as a solution the area where the two areas intercept each other

One solution to these systems of inequalities could be

x=12

y=2

Julian could work 12 hours lifeguarding and 2 hours washing cars
