Answer: Choice D
========================================================
Explanation:
The darkest shaded region is in the northern most region. This region is above both blue boundary lines.
A sample point from this region is (5,2)
We'll plug these coordinates into the first inequality of choice A
[tex]3x+4y \le 12\\\\3(5)+4(2) \le 12\\\\23 \le 12\\\\[/tex]
which is false. So we can rule out choice A.
We can rule out choice B for the exact same reason.
The answer is between C and D
---------------------------
Let's plug those x,y coordinates into the first inequality of choice C
[tex]3x+4y \ge 12\\\\3(5)+4(2) \ge 12\\\\23 \ge 12\\\\[/tex]
which is true. So far, so good.
Now repeat for the second inequality of choice C
[tex]2x-5y \ge 10\\\\2(5)-5(2) \ge 10\\\\0 \ge 10\\\\[/tex]
which is false. We rule out choice C. Choice D is the only thing left, so it must be the answer.
---------------------------
Let's check the second inequality of choice D just for the sake of completeness
[tex]2x-5y \le 10\\\\2(5)-5(2) \le 10\\\\0 \le 10\\\\[/tex]
which is true.
We can see that (x,y) = (5,2) makes both inequalities of choice D to be true, and therefore we have found the final answer.
