Solve by graphing.
3x + 4y ≤ 12
x + 3y ≤ 6
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
:
Plot the 1st two equations, put the equations in the slope/intercept form
3x + 4y =< 12
4y = 12 - 3x
y = - x
y = x + 3
:
Calculate two points (substitute the values for x and find y):
x | y
-------
0 | 4
4 | 1
Graph should look like this:
:
Do the same with the 2nd equation
x + 3y => 6
3y = 6 - x
y = -
y = -x + 2
Calculate two points (substitute the values for x and find y):
x | y
-------
0 | 2
3 | 1
Graph should look like this:
:
The last two equations tell you that only positive values for x and y are considered
:
Put both graphs on the same coordinate system:
Look at this graph
The 1st equation:3x + 4y =< ; 12, the purple line
Area of feasibility is at or below this line
:
The 2nd equation: x + 3y => 6, green line
Area of feasibility is at or above this line
:
x => 0
y => 0
As I said before, this means only positive values for x & y, inside the area of feasibility are considered.
:
The solution is the triangular area between the lines and to the right of the y axis.
