(Steps Shown) (a) Solve the following LP with the graphical method: maximize; z=2 x_1+3 x_2 , \text s.t. x_1+3 x_2 ≤q 9 , 3 x_1+x_2 ≤q 7 , x_1-x_2
Question: (a) Solve the following LP with the graphical method:
\[\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{maximize} \quad z=2 x_{1}+3 x_{2} \\ &\text { s.t. } & x_{1}+3 x_{2} \leq 9 \\ & & 3 x_{1}+x_{2} \leq 7 \\ & & x_{1}-x_{2} \leq 1 \\ & & x_{1}, \quad x_{2} \geq 0 \end{aligned}\]
(b) Use the branch-and-bound method to solve the problem above subject to the additional constraint that \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2}\) must be integers.
Be sure to show the branch and bound tree.
