To get he maximum value of C=6x+2y

We need to get the highest possible value for x, which is 5

Now for highest possible value of y we need to solve equation 4x-y>1

We took x=5,

Sp, 4(5)-y>1

20-1>y

So highest possible value of y is 19

We will now substitute highest values of x and y in the main equation.

C=6(5)+2(19)=30+38=68

Hence, the highest possible value of C is 68.
