Explanation & Answer
Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!
It's a linear programming problem.We have to maximise the value of p=2x+3y.
Subject to 2x+y<= 15
x+3y<=20
x>=0 and y>=0
So first of all we will draw the inequality graph of the linear equation. The corner point or the point where the equation meets will give the maximum value of x and y of the expression.
Considering equality draw the graph of 2x+y=15
Table of values
x y
0 15
7 1
Using these pair (0,15)(7,1) draw the line.
Region :Below the line as when x=0,y<=15 So all values less than 15 or the region below the line.
For the x+3y=20
Table of values
x y
2 6
5 5
Draw the line similarly using th above coordinate pair.The region will be below the line.
Also x>=0 and y>=0 is the 1st quadrant.
Drawing the graph.
From the graph ,the corner point is x=5 and y=5 and the maximum value of p=2*5+3*5=10+15=25(answer)
Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
