Struggling with a problem

[Killamf]

The problem is below.

A factory manufactures two products, each requiring the use of three machines. The first machine can be used at most

hours; the second machine at most

hours; and the third machine at most

hours. The first product requires

hours on machine

hour on machine

and

hour on machine

the second product requires

hour each on machines

and

and

hours on machine

If the profit is

per unit for the first product and

per unit for the second product, how many units of each product should be manufactured to maximize profit?

Let X = product one and y = product 2

Let A = machine 1, B = Machine 2, and C = Machine 3

therefore P = 35x+60y

X = 2a + b + c and Y = a+b+3c

I am struggling to figure out where I need to go from here. Can anyone help?

You see to have a number of "special symbols" that are no showing on my reader. Odd, because it looks like they should be just numbers.

Thanks, stapel. Obviously, killamf, we are not about to tell you how to do problems on a test.
