The feasible region is bounded by the following points:
2 bags of high grade and 7 bags of low
grade;
3 bags of high grade and 6 bags of low grade;
5 bags of high grade and no bags of low grade; and
2 bags of high grade and no bags of low grade.
Note that all of these are feasible since they are on the boundary of the
feasible region.

Notice that the second constraint has no effect on the feasible
region, since every non-negative point that satisfies the first
constraint also satisfies the second. The second constraint is
redundant.
