Question

Which ordered pair maximizes the objective function P = 3x + 8y?

(0, 0)
(2, 7)
(5, 6)
(8, 1)

Answer 1

the answer is C (5,6)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Correct answer is C.

Substitute each of those ordered pairs in until you get the largest number so: (0,0)=3(0)+8(0)=0

(2,7)=3(2)+8(7)=62

(5,6)=3(5)+8(6)=63

(8,1)=3(8)+8(1)=42

SO the answer would be (5,6)
