Essay

Consider the following linear programming problem.
$$\begin{array} { l l } \text { Minimize } & 3 \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } + 2 \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } \\\text { Subject to: } & \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } + \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } \geq 10 \\& \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } + \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } \leq 20 \\& \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } \leq 10 \\& \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } \leq 18 \\& \mathrm { X } _ { 1 } , \mathrm { X } _ { 2 } \geq 0\end{array}$$
Use Solver to find the optimal values of X₁ and X₂.
