Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint for the customer (campaign headquarters) is the total number of cartons of campaign buttons they receive from all three producers. Therefore, we need an equation in terms of X values that will give us this total. Option D gives us the equation  X12 + X22 + X32 = 70, which represents the total number of cartons of buttons received by the campaign headquarters from all three producers. Hence, option D is the correct choice.
