Detailed Solution

For given inequality first we will convert it into equations,  

2x+3y=13,3x+y=5,x=0 and y=0

Region represented by 2x+3y13:

The line 2x+3y=13 meets the coordinate axes at

A132,0 and B0,133 respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line 2x+3y=13

Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 2x+3y13 . So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 2x+3y13

Region represented by 3x+y5:- 

The line 3x+y=5 meets the coordinate axes at C53,0 and D(0,5) respectviely. By joining these points we obtain the line 3x+y=5

Clearly (0,0) satisfies the inequation 3x+y5 . So, the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x+y5

Region represented by x0 and y0 is the 1st quadrant.

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints, 2x+3y13,3x+y5,x0  and y0, are shown in the shaded portion of the graph.

 

Question Image

Notice that the corner points if the feasible region are O(0, 0), C53, 0, E(27,297) and B0,133

  Now, we will find the values of Z at these corner points, it follows

Question Image

We can see that the maximum value of the objective function Z is 15 which is at point C53, 0 and E(27,297).
