![### Linear Programming Problem
This example demonstrates a linear programming problem aiming to minimize the objective function given certain constraints.
### Objective Function
Minimize \( z = x + 4y \)
### Constraints
\[
\begin{align*}
4y + 5x &\geq 32 \\
3y + 2x &\geq 16 \\
y + x &\geq 7 \\
x &\geq 0 \\
y &\geq 0
\end{align*}
\]
### Solution
To determine the values of \( x \) and \( y \) that minimize the objective function \( z \) while satisfying the constraints, identify the feasible region formed by these constraints. At the vertices of this feasible region, evaluate the objective function to find the minimum value.
**Result:**
Minimum is ___________ at
\( x = \) ___________
\( y = \) ___________
Fill in these values to complete the solution to this linear programming problem.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa369931a-fe5c-47f4-90de-c0f8ffd54c08%2Faac80b79-3c43-40b6-ba41-2b448e788c2f%2Ftl0srctx_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
