Please help me solve this?. Chase Quinn wants to expand his cut-flower business. He has 12 additional acres on which he intends to plant lilies and gladioli. He can plant at most 7 acres of gladiolus bulbs and no more than 11 acres of lilies. In addition, the number of acres planted to gladioli (G) can be no more than twice the number of acres planted to lilies (L). The inequality L+2G>=10 represents his labor restrictions. If his profits are represented by the function f(L,G) = 300L + 200G, how many acres of lilies should he plant to maximize his profit? . . . I know this:. . L <= 11. G <=7. L + 2G >= 10. . And of course, his profit is represented by 300L + 200G.. . I'm trying to figure this out, it's the last math question I have to do tonight and I just can't get it. Usually these are easy for me. Thanks in advance.
