linear programming

[Leana]

could u plz post yes if u know anything about linear programming and could help me answer a question plz

The qusetion that I have to answer is "A chemical company can produce chemical A and chemical B. They already have an order for 200kg of chemical A and and order of 100kg for chemical B, but only 700kg can be produced due to limited resources.

What are the two restraints in this question? thanx

200A+100B<=700

2A+B<=7

Hello, Leana!

Did you leave out part of the problem?
\(\displaystyle \;\;\)I don't see two restraints.

"A chemical company can produce chemical A and chemical B.
They already have an order for 200kg of chemical A and and order of 100kg for chemical B,
but only 700kg can be produced due to limited resources.

What are the two restraints in this question?

Let \(\displaystyle a\) = number of kg of chemical A.
Let \(\displaystyle b\) = number of kg of chemical B.

Then: \(\displaystyle \,a\,+\,b\:\leq\:700\) . . . and that's it!


But we are given: \(\displaystyle \,a\,=\,200,\;b\,=\,100\),
so there's no difficulty in filling the order.

What exactly is the problem?

sorry i misread the question i assumed each bottle A required 200kg of a substance maybe that maybe the mistake soroban is refering to?

I need two know what the two constraints are, and the objective function is. I think the objective function is $(300x+400y) but I am not sure. i would really appreciate any one who can help thanx
