Constraints: x+2y≤10, 2x+y≤10, x+y≤6, x,y≥0x+2y\le10,\ 2x+y\le10,\ x+y\le6,\ x,y\ge0.

At y=0y=0: the three lines give x≤10, x≤5, x≤6x\le10,\ x\le5,\ x\le6; binding is x≤5x\le5, vertex (5,0)(5,0).

At x=0x=0: the three lines give y≤5, y≤10, y≤6y\le5,\ y\le10,\ y\le6; binding is y≤5y\le5, vertex (0,5)(0,5).

(x+2y=10)∩(2x+y=10)(x+2y=10)\cap(2x+y=10): solving gives (103,103)\left(\dfrac{10}{3},\dfrac{10}{3}\right); checking x+y≤6x+y\le6: 203≈6.67>6\dfrac{20}{3}\approx6.67>6 — infeasible, discarded.

(x+2y=10)∩(x+y=6)(x+2y=10)\cap(x+y=6): subtracting, y=4, x=2y=4,\ x=2, giving (2,4)(2,4); checking 2x+y≤102x+y\le10: 4+4=8≤104+4=8\le10 ✓ feasible. …
