Question 912923: Maximise P= 4x + 6y subject to the following constraints
2x + y = 180, x +2y =160 and x + 2y = 100

Typically for linear programming problems, you must have inequalities that map out a region over which to check the function.
You have 3 constraints and they are equalities which means they would only be valid at individual points.
Please check your problem setup.
