We have to meet these restrictions:
Amount of work:
[tex]x+y\ge2[/tex]Battery power:
[tex]x+y\ge-1[/tex]If the values of x and y are x=5 and y=3, then we have to evaluate each restriction:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=5+3=8\ge2\longrightarrow\text{true} \\ x+y=5+3=8>-1\longrightarrow true \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: Yes, they meet the requirements.
