My professor gave us this problem and said its a trick question. I think I have an answer but don't want to submit it in case I am totally off. Anyone mind double checking this for me to make sure I'm not way off base?I think the answer is the following:

X = 4
y = 3Am I way off base...

While that third condition you added makes perfect sense to me, this website just doesn't want to accept it. I'm assuming because it doesn't have a greater/less than sign? Sorry to be a pain here...

Here is what I am inputting for my linear programming:
maximize z = 450x...
Thanks Mark, that did give me the correct answer. However, I feel like this is a workaround of some sorts. Is there another inequality or something I could add so I wouldn't have to get rid of my x variable?
Hey Mark,
Thanks for the response.
I tried that as well on the website and it keeps returning "No optimal solution exists for this problem."
Common sense and ability to do the problem in my head tells me the answer is more than likely x=120, y=60 and w=30. I just need to know how to put that...
