-Formulate the following problem as a linear programming problem (DO NOT SOLVE):A steel company
produces two types of machine dies, part A and part B. Part A requires 6 hours of casting time and 4 hours of
firing time. Part B requires 8 hours of casting time and 3 hours of firing time. The maximum number of hours
per week available for casting and firing are 85 and 70, respectively. The company makes a $2.00 profit on each
part A that it produces, and a $6.00 profit on each part B that it produces. How many of each type should the
company produce each week in order to maximize its profit? (Let x1 equal the number of A parts and x2 equal
the number of B parts produced each week.)
