The problem says "three jobs" but there are 6 values you want to find: A, the number of square meters devoted to navel oranges; B, the number of square meters devoted to navelate oranges, C, the number of square meters devoted to cherry tomatoes; D, the number of square meters devoted to roma tomatoes; E, the number of square meters devoted to guavas; and F, the number of square meters devoted to Moringas.
You have a total or 10000 square meters so [tex]A+ B+ C+ D+ E+ F\le 10000[/tex].
"As a rule, at least 40% of the land must be used in orange growing and at most 35% in tomatoes or repopulation:
so [tex]A+ B\ge 4000[/tex] and [tex]C+ D+ E+ F\le 3500[/tex].
The objective, to be maximized, is 3A+ 52B+ 7C/2+ 4D+ 5E+ 5F.
