if you draw a graph for the given 4 constraint equation --  x+2y?2000,x+y?1500,y?600,x?0 and y?0 and identify the polygon enclosed by the equations, you will find that its is a quadrilateral, with A(0,0); B(600,0); C(1000,500); D(1500,0)
 
Now since its an enclosed area, the maximum value of Z should be at one of the vertices. 
 
hence, at A(0,0); Z = 3(0) + 5(0) = 0
at B(600,0); Z = 3(600) + 5(0) = 1800
at C(1000,500); Z = 3(1000) + 5(500) = 5500
at D(1500,0); Z = 3(1500) + 5(0) = 4500
 
So, the maximum value of Z is at C(1000,500) and the value is 5500
