Question 1128924: Looking for answer verification please.
Find the maximum value of 2x + 3y and the point at which it occurs subject to the constraints
y (greater or equal to)3x-9
y (less or equal to)x+5
y (less or equal to)-2x+11
x (greater or equal to)0, y(greater or equal to)0
After graphing and using the points I found the answer to be: 25, at point (2,7)
is this correct?
Thank you
