2 Consider the following linear programming problem.
Maximise $$\mathrm { P } = 6 x + 7 y$$ subject to $$\begin{aligned} & 2 x + 3 y \leqslant 9
& 3 x + 2 y \leqslant 12
& x \geqslant 0
& y \geqslant 0 \end{aligned}$$
  1. Use a graphical approach to solve the problem.
  2. Give the optimal values of \(x , y\) and P when \(x\) and \(y\) are integers.
