In the formulation, how many constraints (i.e., constraint equations) are there and which involves two variables? How many objective functions are there?

A manufacturing firm produces two components for electric scooters. An axle requires 2.4 min of molding time and 5.0 min of assembly time. The profit for axles is $0.60 per unit. A single handlebar grip requires 3.0 min of molding time and 2.5 min of finishing time. The profit for grips is $0.70 per unit. The molding department has 1,200 minutes of time per week to allocate to these products. The finishing department has idle capacity of 600 minutes per week, and the assembly department can supply 1,500 minutes of capacity per week. The firm wants to determine the optimum production amounts of axles and grips this week using a linear programming method.
