I'll give you points for your answer, GenericUsernameHere, but let's be careful about insulting the questioners.....maybe this person isn't yet 10......and just because you know how to do something doesn't mean that everybody else does....what may appear to be a "dumb" question to you might actually be something that another person is struggling with......and remember.....  admitting that you don't know something is always the first step towards wisdom.....

We have the following system

3000x + 1000y ≥ 5000

45x + 50y ≥ 195

75x + 200y ≥ 700      where x and x  are  the number of Brand X and Brand Y pills respectively

Here's a graph of the system....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/jgls3flfph

The intersection of these inequalities occurs at the corner point (.57, 3.29)   .....  this means that about 1/2 of a Brand X pill and about 3+ 1/4  Brand Y pills  provide the nececessary units subject to the original constraints.

This answer isn't exactly what we might expect, but that's the way the math works out...!!!
