Question: Dorian Auto has a $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 advertising budget. Dorian can purchase full - page ads in two magazines: Inside Jocks

Dorian Auto has a $20,000 advertising budget. Dorian can purchase full-page ads in two magazines: Inside Jocks (IJ) and Family Square (FS). An exposure occurs when a person reads a Dorian Auto ad for the first time.
The number of exposures generated by each ad in IJ is as follows: ads 1-6,2,500 exposures; ads 7-10,3,000 exposures; ads 11-15,10,000 exposures. For example, 8 ads in IJ would generate 6(2,500)+2(3,000)=21,000 exposures.
The number of exposures generated by each ad in FS is as follows: ads 1-4,2,000 exposures; ads 5-12,6,000 exposures; ads 13-15,8,000 exposures. Thus, 13 ads in FS would generate 4(2,000)+8(6,000)+1(8,000)=64,000 exposures.
Each full-page ad in either magazine costs $1,000. Assume there is no overlap in the readership of the two magazines. Formulate an IP to maximize the number of exposures that Dorian can obtain with limited advertising funds.

Let x and y respectively represent the number of adds in IJ and FS. The number of exposures in IJ is given as
EIJ(x)={2500xif0x615000+3000(x-6)if7x1027000+10000(x-10)if11x15
while the number of exposures in FS is given as
EFS(y)={2000yif0y48000+6000(y-4)if5y1256000+8000(y-12)if13y15
Then, the model becomes
maxEIJ(x)+EFS(y)(maximize the exposure)
s.t.x+y20(budget)
0x,y15 and x,y are integer. (variable domain restrictions)
Notice that both EIJ(x) and EFS(y) are nonconcave functions. In order to linearize the above model, we introduce three "copies" of x and y variables each, and control them via newly defined binary variables. The integer linear programming model is given as below:
max,[2500x1+3000x2-3000u2+10000x3-73000u3],
+,[2000y1+6000y2-16000v2+8000y3-40000v3](maximize the exposure)
s.t.(x1+x2+x3)+(y1+y2+y3)20(budget)
,0x16u1,7u2x210u2,11u3x315u3(piecewise linearization-EIJ)
,0y14v1,5v2y212v2,13v3y315v3(piecewise linearization-EFS)
,u1+u2+u3=1,v1+v2+v3=1(piecewise linearization)
,u1,u2,u3,v1,v2,v3in{0,1} and x1,x2,x3,y1,y2,y3 are integer. (variable domain restrictions) I couldn't really understand the solution can you explain please
