The interpretation of the result is that the maximum value of the objective function is 29
<h3>How to solve and interpret the result?</h3>
The objective function is given as:
Max z = 3x₁ + 5x₂+ 4x₃
The constraints are:
2x₁ +3x₂ ≤ 18
2x₁ + x₂ ≤ 10
3x₁ + 2x₂ +4x₃ ≤ 15
x₁, x₂, x₃ ≥ 0
Subtract the second inequality from the first
2x₁ - 2x₁ + 3x₂ - x₂ ≤ 18 - 10
Evaluate the like terms
2x₂ ≤ 8
Divide by 2
x₂ ≤ 4
Substitute 4 for x₂ in 2x₁ +3x₂ ≤ 18
2x₁ +3*4 ≤ 18
This gives
2x₁ + 12 ≤ 18
Evaluate the like terms
2x₁ ≤ 6
Divide by 2
x₁ ≤ 3
Substitute 4 for x₂ and 3 for x₁ in 3x₁ + 2x₂ +4x₃ ≤ 15
3*3 + 2*4 +4x₃ ≤ 15
This gives
17 +4x₃ ≤ 15
Evaluate the like terms
4x₃ ≤ -2
Divide by 4
x₃ ≤ -0.5
From the constraints, we have:
x₁, x₂, x₃ ≥ 0
So, we set all negative values to 0
This means that:
x₃ ≤ 0
Substitute these values in the objective function
Max z = 3 * 3 + 5 * 4 + 4 * 0
Evaluate
Max z = 29
Hence, the interpretation of the result is that the maximum value is 29
