The first restriction refers to the raw material used in the two products. The objective function presents the profit obtained from the games:
Maximize Z = 3x1 + 4x2
subject to:
x1-2x2 >= 3
x1+x2 <= 4
x1,x2 >= 0
a) Explain the practical meaning of the constraints in the problem.
b) What quantities of each game should be produced and what profit can be achieved?
