The problem shown in the image involves a linear programming problem where the objective is to minimize \( z = 4x + 5y \), subject to the following constraints:

\[
\begin{aligned}
3y + 5x &\geq 30 \\
5y + 3x &\geq 30 \\
2y + 2x &\geq 16 \\
x &\geq 0 \\
y &\geq 0 \\
\end{aligned}
\]

The solution provided by the user states a minimum value of \( z = 24 \) when \( x = 6 \) and \( y = 0 \), but the system has flagged it as incorrect.

### Steps to solve:
1. **Objective function**: Minimize \( z = 4x + 5y \).
2. **Constraints**:
   - \( 3y + 5x \geq 30 \)
   - \( 5y + 3x \geq 30 \)
   - \( 2y + 2x \geq 16 \)
   - \( x \geq 0, y \geq 0 \) (Non-negativity constraints)

We can solve this problem graphically or using a linear programming method like the Simplex algorithm. The minimum will occur at a corner point of the feasible region formed by the constraints.

Let me know if you would like to go through the graphical method step by step, or if you'd prefer I calculate the solution using an algebraic approach (like the Simplex method). 

Do you want details or have any questions so far? Here are some related questions you may find helpful:

1. How do we graphically represent the feasible region for this linear programming problem?
2. How do we determine which corner points to test for the minimum value?
3. What method can be used to solve this problem algebraically (Simplex or other)?
4. What does it mean if a solution doesn't satisfy all constraints?
5. How can we verify that the point \( x = 6 \) and \( y = 0 \) is or isn’t the correct solution?

**Tip**: When solving linear programming problems, it's helpful to always check that your candidate solution satisfies **all** constraints before confirming it as a valid minimum or maximum.

Minimize z = 4x + 5y subject to: 3y + 5x ≥ 30, 5y + 3x ≥ 30, 2y + 2x ≥ 16, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Solve a linear programming problem by minimizing z = 4x + 5y under multiple constraints. Learn about the Simplex Algorithm and explore how to find the feasible region and corner points. This is suitable for college-level linear programming studies.
