Which ordered pair maximizes the objective function cap p is equal to 3 x plus 8 y ?

Substitute each ordered pair into p = 3x + 8y. For (5, 6), p = 3(5) + 8(6) = 15 + 48 = 63. This is greater than the value for (2, 7), which is 62, and the other choices, so (5, 6) maximizes the objective function.
