Available } & 60 \text { hours } & 120 \text { hours } & 45 \text { hours } \\\hline\end{array}$$ Formulation:
Let x = number of tractors produced per period
y = number of lawn mowers produced per period
Let x = number of tractors produced per period
y = number of lawn mowers produced per period
MAX 30x + 30y
subject to  2x + y ? 60
    2x + 3y ? 120
    x ? 45
