Solve the following linear programming problem.
A company makes two products, pencil holders (X1) and desk trays (X2).
The objective is to maximize profit, which is $9 on each case of pencil holders and $5 on each case of desk trays. Production is constrained by the limit of 1000 pounds of plastic. Pencil holders require 2 pounds and desk trays require one pound per case of output.
Forty hours of labor are available, and pencil holders require 3 minutes, desk trays 4 minutes. The Marketing Department requires a limit of 700 total cases and that the number of cases of pencil holders cannot exceed the number of cases of desk trays by more than 350.
