----------------------------------------
Let's say "x" is hours of hunting and "y" is hrs. of gathering.
x>=0
y<=12
y>=2x
Graph those restrictions and you will get a
closed area in the 1st Quadrant.
--------
Then you have an objective function call "food"
food = 6x + 4y
------------------
Using the vertices of closed area you can find
x and y coordinates that give you maximum food.
