The figure shows the healthy weight region for various heights for people ages 35 and older.
If x represents height, in inches, and y represents weight, in pounds, the healthy weight region can be modeled by the following system of linear inequalities:
Use this information to solve Exercises 45-48.
Show that point A is a solution of the system of inequalities that describes healthy weight for this age group.
