Minimum value of a linear program












2












$begingroup$


$x$ and $y$ are real numbers such that $ xge 0$ and $y ge 0$.



If $$ x + y le 5$$
$$ x + 2y ge 8$$



Then what is the minimum value of $5x+y$?



There is something wrong in my approach.
I write the first inequality as $$ 5 ge x + y$$
Adding with the second inequality yields, $$5 + x + 2y ge x + y + 8$$
Or $$ y ge 3$$ Thus $$ 9y ge 27$$
Multiplying the second inequality by $5$ we obtain $$ 5x + 10y ge 40$$ $$9y ge 27$$
Hence $5x+y ge 13$

    You can add the equations $5x+10y geq 40$ and $9y geq 27$ to conclude $5 x+19 y geq 67$ but you can't subtract them and conclude anything meaningful. For example, we have $5 geq 3$ and $5 geq 2$ but you can't subtract the second from the first and say $0 geq 1$.

Our conditions give an interior of $Delta ABC$,where $A(2,3)$, $B(0,5)$ and $C(0,4).$



The system $x=0$ and $x+2y=8$ gives $C(0,4)$;



The system $x=0$ and $x+y=5$ gives $B(0,5)$



and the system $x+y=5$ and $x+2y=8$ gives $A(2,3).$



Let $f(x,y)=5x+y.$



Thus, $$min_{xgeq0,ygeq0,x+yleq5,x+2ygeq8}f=min{f(0,5),f(0,4),f(2,3)}=f(0,4)=4.$$
