Graph your three constraint inequalities on the same coordinate axes. You will have a trapezoid as a feasible area. An optimum, if it exists, must be at a vertex of your area of feasibility. So, look at your vertices (0,2), (1,2), and since nothing with a negative x is going to work, use (0,0) and (3,0) as your other two vertices. Insert the coordinate values of your vertices one at a time into your profit function. The one with the biggest answer is your optimum.
