.

At this site, I just created a lesson
    - Solving minimax problems by the Linear Programming method
which teaches the beginner students on how to solve linear minimax problems using the Linear programming method.

Use it and learn the subject from there.

Constraint boundary lines:

Intersection point: (5/3,4/3)

a graph... feasibility region is above the red line and below the green line

The only two corners of the feasibility region are (3,0) and (5/3,4/3).

(3,0): P = 9(0)+3 = 3
(5/3,4/3): P = 9(4/3)+5/3 = 41/3

ANSWERS: The minimum value of P is 3, at the point (3,0).
