Answer (169)
Solution
$$ \begin{array}{ll} x+2 y+3 z=42, & x, y, z \geq 0 \\ z=0 & x+2 y=42 \Rightarrow 22 \\ z=1 & x+2 y=39 \Rightarrow 20 \\ z=2 & x+2 y=36 \Rightarrow 19 \\ z=3 & x+2 y=33 \Rightarrow 17 \\ z=4 & x+2 y=30 \Rightarrow 16 \\ z=5 & x+2 y=27 \Rightarrow 14 \\ z=6 & x+2 y=24 \Rightarrow 13 \\ z=7 & x+2 y=21 \Rightarrow 11 \\ z=8 & x+2 y=18 \Rightarrow 10 \\ z=9 & x+2 y=15 \Rightarrow 8 \\ z=10 & x+2 y=12 \Rightarrow 7 \\ z=11 & x+2 y=9 \Rightarrow 5 \\ z=12 & x+2 y=6 \Rightarrow 4 \\ z=13 & x+2 y=3 \Rightarrow 2 \\ z=14 & x+2 y=0 \Rightarrow 1 \end{array} $$
Total : 169
