STEP 1
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CORRECTLY MODEL THE CASE IN MATH FORMULA IF NOT THEN USELESS . READ THE CASE CAREFULLY AND INTEPRET THE CASE INTO MATH ACCURATELY
STEP 2
Lets assume the case has been mathematically formulated as below: Max profit = 3x + 2y subject to
2x + y <= 150 2x + 3y <= 300 x >= 0 y >= 0 end
STEP 3
Find the end points from each constraint formula 1. 2x + y <= 150
If x = 0 then y = 150 -- (0, 150) If y = 0 then x = 75 - (75, 0)
2. 2x + 3y <= 300
If x = 0 then y = 100 -If y = 0 then x = 150 -(0, 100) (150, 0)
3. X >= 0 4. Y >= 0
STEP 4

2x + y <= 150
1. Test by substituting points above and below the line e.g. (0,0) and (100, 100) If it meets then this point is within the area Below the line 2 (0) + 0 = 0 <= 150 INSIDE THE AREA Above the line 2 (100) + 100 = 300 >= 150 OUTSIDE THE AREA

Max profit = 3x + 2y 1. 0,100 - 3 (0) + 2 (100) = 200 2. 37.5,75 - 3 (37.5) + 2 (75) = 262.5 3. 75,0 --- 3 (75) + 2 (0) = 225 So, the objective function value = 262.5
