    X ≥ 0

    y ≥ 0

    f (x, y) = 3x + 7y

    f (0, 0) = 3 (0) + 7 (0)

    f (0, 0) = 0 + 0

    f (0, 0) = 0

    3x + 2y ≤ 18 ⇒ 3x + 2y = 18 ⇒ 21x + 14y = 126

    6x + 7y ≤ 42 ⇒ 6x + 7y = 42 ⇒ 12x + 14y = 84

    9x = 42

    9 9

    x = 4²/₃

    3x + 2y = 18

    3 (4²/₃) + 2y = 18

    14 + 2y = 18

    - 14 - 14

    2y = 4

    2 2

    y = 2

    (x, y) = (4²/₃, 2)

    f (x, y) = 3x + 7y

    f (4²/₃, 2) = 3 (4²/₃) + 7 (2)

    f (4²/₃, 2) = 14 + 9

    f (4²/₃, 2) = 23
