To find the least possible value of
\(3x - 2y\), we need to minimize the expression. This occurs when 3x is minimized or 2y is maximized. However, without specific constraints or information about x and y, we can't determine an exact minimum value.

If there are no constraints, the expression
\(3x - 2y\) can theoretically approach negative infinity as y increases without bound or as x decreases without bound. Therefore, the minimum value is undefined in the absence of constraints.

If there are constraints on x and y, please provide them so that I can calculate the minimum value accordingly. Constraints help define a specific range for the variables, allowing us to find the minimum value within those bounds.
