Incomplete question. However, let's assume this are feasible regions to consider:

Points:

- (0, 100)

- (0, 125)

- (0, 325)

- (1, 200)

Answer:

Maximum value occurs at 325 at the point (0, 325)

Explanation:

Remember, we substitute the points value for x, y in the objective function P = 2x + 1.5y.

- For point (0, 100): P= 2(0) + 1.5 (100) =150

- For point (0, 125): P= 2(0) + 1.5 (125) =187.5

For point (0, 325): P= 2(0) + 1.5 (325) = 487.5

For point (1, 200): P= 2(1) + 1.5 (200) = 302

Therefore, we could notice from the above solutions that at point (0,325) we attain the maximum value of P.
