1. ## Does anyone know how to do a problem like this? I dont understand this at all.

I could really use some advice on how to approach it, thanks.

Find the complete optimal solution to this linear-programming problem:

Min 3X + 3Y
s.t. 12X + 4Y > 48
10X + 5Y > 50
4X + 8Y > 32
X , Y > 0

What method(s) have you been taught? The (Dantzig) Simplex Method?

It would almost certainly be a graphical method, except that as formulated it has no solution.

(constraints should all he <= or >= otherwise the vertices of the feasible region are not in the
feasible region and so cannot be solutions)
