Question 1148055
.
<pre>
Let me, first, to rewrite your constraints in equivalent form


    y <=  2 + {{{x/3}}}    (1)    (first  given constraint)

    y >= -2 + {{{x/3}}}    (2)    (second given constraint) 

    y >=  6 - x    (3)     (third  given constraint) 


The plot is shown below.


    {{{graph( 330, 330, -10, 10, -10, 10,
          (1/3)x +2, (1/3)x-2, 6-x
)}}}


    Plot  x-3y = -6  (red),  x-3y = 6  (green) and  x+y = 6 (blue).


So, your feasible area is the set of points between two parallel lines (red and green; constraint (1) and (2)), that are ABOVE blue line.


The given linear objective function  z = x + 3y,  <U>OBVIOUSLY, HAS NO maximum</U>

    (its value can be made arbitrary large).


<U>It has a minimum value, instead</U>.


This minimum value is its value in one of the two intersection (corner) points.


The intersection points are  (3,3)  and (6,0).


The values of the objective function  z = x + 3y  at these points are


    at (3,3)  z = 3 + 3*3 = 12

    at (0,6)  z = 6 + 3*0 = 6.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The given objective function HAS NO maximum value.

         It has minimum value at the point (x,y) = (6,0).
