(N/A) The shaded region is bounded by the corner points $O(0,0)$,$A(7,0)$,$B(3,4)$,and $C(0,2)$.
We evaluate the objective function $Z = 5x + 7y$ at each corner point:
Corner Point Value of $Z = 5x + 7y$
$O(0,0)$ $5(0) + 7(0) = 0$
$A(7,0)$ $5(7) + 7(0) = 35$
$B(3,4)$ $5(3) + 7(4) = 15 + 28 = 43$
$C(0,2)$ $5(0) + 7(2) = 14$

Comparing the values of $Z$,the maximum value is $43$,which occurs at the point $B(3,4)$.
