The point at which the maximum value of $Z = 3x + 2y$ subject to the constraints $x + 2y \leq 2$,$x \geq 0$,$y \geq 0$ occurs is $.....$

$A$ fruit grower can use two types of fertilizer in his garden,brand $P$ and brand $Q$. The amounts (in $kg$) of nitrogen,phosphoric acid,potash,and chlorine in a bag of each brand are given in the table. Tests indicate that the garden needs at least $240\,kg$ of phosphoric acid,at least $270\,kg$ of potash and at most $310\,kg$ of chlorine. If the grower wants to minimize the amount of nitrogen added to the garden,how many bags of each brand should be used? What is the minimum amount of nitrogen added in the garden (in $,kg$)?
Brand $P$ ($kg$ per bag)Brand $Q$ ($kg$ per bag)
Nitrogen$3$$3.5$
Phosphoric acid$1$$2$
Potash$3$$1.5$
Chlorine$1.5$$2$
