SOLUTION

Max Z = 4x + 3y

S.T 2x + 3y = 6

-3x + 2y = 3

2y = 5

2x + y = 4

X, y >= 0

Straight 1
X y
0 2
3 0

Straight 2
X y
0 1.5
-1 0

Straight 3

Straight 4
X y
0 4
2 0
The above graph shows the points

P1(0,1.5), P5 (2, 0)

The extreme points also determined from the above graph which is:

P2 (0.667, 2.5), P3 (0.75, 2.5), P4 (1.5, 1)

Point X Y Z Result
P2 0.667 2.5 4(0.667) + 3(2.5) 10.168
P3 0.75 2.5 4(0.75) + 3(2.5) 10.5
P4 1.5 1 4(1.5) + 3(1) 9

So, the max (Z) is at (P3)
