Steps

Step 1 :Find the intersection points of the given constraints:

Step 2 :{y=x+6y=x+4y=7x=5

Step 3 :Intersection points: {(1,5),(1,7),(5,1),(3,7),(5,9),(5,7)}

Step 4 :Evaluate the function K at each intersection point:

Step 5 :K(1,5)=2(1)9(5)=43

Step 6 :K(1,7)=2(1)9(7)=65

Step 7 :K(5,1)=2(5)9(1)=1

Step 8 :K(3,7)=2(3)9(7)=57

Step 9 :K(5,9)=2(5)9(9)=71

Step 10 :K(5,7)=2(5)9(7)=53

Step 11 :Find the maximum value of K:

Step 12 :1
