Given the following linear programming problem:
"A factory produces gasoline engines and diesel engines. Each week the factory is obliged to deliver at least 20 gasoline engines and
at least 15 diesel engines. Due to physical limitations, however, the factory cannot make more than 60 gasoline engines nor more
than 40 diesel engines in any given week. Finally, to prevent layoffs, a total of at least 50 engines must be produced. If each gasoline
engine costs 450 euros to produce and each diesel engine costs 550 euros to produce, how many of each should be produced to
minimize the cost?"
Let x represent the number of gasoline engines produced and let y represent the number of diesel engines produced.
Write the equation that best describes the objective function.
