The feasible region is shown in the picture above. The horizontal axis is the X axis.

If you now draw a family of lines parallel to
5x+4y=C through the region, increasing $C$, that is, the X-intercept, we will have the maximum value of $C$ when the line passes through the endpoint $(-2,6)$ .

Hence, $C=5(-2)+4(6)=14$

PLEASE please help me out!!!!!! :)-example-1
