x + 2y = 8

 X 8 0 y 0 4

A(8,0),B(0,10)
Join the points A and B to obtain the line. Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the inequation x + 2y = 8. So the region containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation.

Region represented by 3x + 2y ≤ 12 : The line 3x + 2y = 12 meets the coordinate axis at C(4, 0) and D(0, 6).

The shaded region OCEB represents the common region of the above inequations. This region is the feasible region of the given linear programming problem.

The coordinates of the comer points of the feasible region are O(0, 0), C(4, 0), E(2, 3) and 5(0, 4).
The point E(2, 3) has been obtained by solving the equations of the corresponding intersecting lines simultaneously.
The values of the objective function on these points are given in the following table :

Region represented by x ≥ 3 and y ≥ 0 : Since every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 3 and y ≥ 0.

It is clear from the graph that there is no any common region of the given inequations.
Hence there does not exist any maximum value for the given inequations.
