Wow. This is bad. Here=92s your equation, and the wrong answer:
equ={30 x+20 y+15 z,7 x+7 y+3 z<=100,3 x+y+2 z<=50,x>=0,y>=0,z>=0};
Maximize[equ,{x,y,z},Integers]
{490,{x->10,y->0,z->10}}
Since everything is positive, I just dropped the y>=0 part.
I get same solution, but also a different wrong answer.
equ={30 x+20 y+15 z,7 x+7 y+3 z<=100,3 x+y+2 z<=50,x>=0,y>=0};
Maximize[equ,{x,y,z},Integers]
{510,{x->10,y->0,z->10}}
= = = = = = = = = =
