Linear Programming D1 AQA Help

Hi all. I'm struggling with this and would appreciate some help :smile:.

QP: http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-MD01-QP-JUN12.PDF

9(b)(iii)

MS: http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-MD01-W-MS-JUN12.PDF

I've found the objective line as

4x+3y+4z

Eliminated z using z=1/2x to get

6x+3y

however MS uses y+3/2x

pls help

Where did you get our objective line from? You're trying to maximise the total number of pillows, i.e. x+y+z

Those are just the constraints; values x and y can't be in the context.

put z = 1.2x into x + y + z then solve for y,
