Question
A trucking firm ships the containers of two companies, A and B. Each container from company A weighs 40 pounds and is 2 cubic feet in volume. Each container from company B weighs 50 pounds and is 3 cubic feet in volume.

If one of the firm's trucks cannot carry more than 37,000 pounds and cannot hold more than 2000 cubic feet, how many containers from companies A and B should a truck carry to maximize the shipping charges?
