Question 1102103
 I have no idea how to calculate this. Appreciate the help. Thanks.
Solve the following linear programming problem.
Minimize: z=5x+30y
subject to: 
9x+12y≥61
8x+4y≥32
x≥​0, y≥0
What is the minimum value of z?
---------------
x >= 0 and y >= 0 means the answers are in the 1st quadrant
Solve the two other inequalities for "y"::
y >= (-3/4)x + (61/12)
y >= (-2)x + 8
--------------------
Plot those lines in Quadrant I
The y-intersects are (0,61/12) and (0,8)
The x-intersects are ([(61/12)/(3/4)],0) and (4,0)
---
Find the intersection of the two inequalities
(-3/4)x+(61/12) = -2x+8
(5/4)x = 3/4
x = 3/5
Then y = -2(3/5)+8 = 34/5
That vertex is (3/5,34/5)
-----
Find the 4 vertex polygon in Quadrant I including (0,0)
Vertices:: (0,0) ; (0,5) ; (4,0) ; (7/3,10/3)
-----
Check for z in z = 5x+30y for each of the (x,y) pairs
(0,0):: z = 5*0+30*0 = 0
(0,5):: z = 5*0+30*5 = 150
(4,0):: z = 5*4+30*0 = 20
(7/3,10/3):: z = 5(7/3)+30(10/3) = [35+300]/3 = 112 when rounded
-----
Ans:: Minimum z is zero
