5. A machine shop makes pipes for the oil and gas industry in lengths of 250 cm and 400 cm. The shorter pipes give a profit of $140 each, while each long pipe gives a profit of $270.

For every long pipe made, there must be at least two short pipes made. For every pair of long pipes made, there can be at most seven short pipes made
