Asked to identify binding constraints, and decide if the optimal solution is changed by a named constraint either doubling or halving.

a)

\n

The optimal solution is found at the intersection of the lines representing {line_names[binding_lines[0]]} and {line_names[binding_lines[1]]}. These constraints are binding; the other constraints are non-binding.

\n

b)

\n

If the {line_names[nonbinding_line]} {change_description}, the optimal solution found earlier ends up {line_prepositions[1][nonbinding_line]} the line representing the {line_names[nonbinding_line]}, making it invalidis still {line_prepositions[0][nonbinding_line]} the line representing the {line_names[nonbinding_line]}, so the optimal solution is not affected.
