Let's analyze the problem.

The shaded region in the graph represents the solution set for a system of inequalities. We are asked to determine the maximum value of the expression \(10x + 15y\) within this solution region.

1. **Identifying Constraints:** 
   The boundary lines for the shaded region intersect the \(x\)- and \(y\)-axes at key points. Let’s determine these boundary lines by noting the coordinates of intersection:
   - One line passes through points \((0, 10)\) and \((6, 0)\).
   - Another line passes through points \((0, 3)\) and \((2, 0)\).
   - The \(x\)-axis and \(y\)-axis also serve as boundaries (since negative values of \(x\) and \(y\) are outside the solution set).

2. **Finding the Equations of the Lines:**
   - For the line through \((0, 10)\) and \((6, 0)\): 
     \[
     \text{slope} = \frac{0 - 10}{6 - 0} = -\frac{5}{3}
     \]
     So, the equation is \(y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 10\).
   - For the line through \((0, 3)\) and \((2, 0)\):
     \[
     \text{slope} = \frac{0 - 3}{2 - 0} = -\frac{3}{2}
     \]
     So, the equation is \(y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3\).

3. **Defining the Inequalities:**
   - From these lines, the inequalities that bound the region are:
     \[
     y \leq -\frac{5}{3}x + 10
     \]
     \[
     y \leq -\frac{3}{2}x + 3
     \]
     \[
     x \geq 0
     \]
     \[
     y \geq 0
     \]

4. **Finding Vertices of the Feasible Region:**
   To find the maximum of \(10x + 15y\), evaluate it at the vertices of the shaded region. The vertices are:
   - \((0, 0)\)
   - \((2, 0)\)
   - The intersection of \(y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 10\) and \(y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3\).

5. **Solving for the Intersection Point:**
   Set the equations equal to each other:
   \[
   -\frac{5}{3}x + 10 = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3
   \]
   Solving this will give us the \(x\)-coordinate of the intersection point, then substitute it back to find \(y\).
