Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The constraint equation for processing time is based on the total hours available (200 hours) and the hours required for each product (4 hours for Table X and 6 hours for Table Y). The equation 4X + 6Y ≤ 200 correctly represents that the total processing time for producing X and Y tables cannot exceed 200 hours.
