My result doesn't agree with results from online calculators
$begingroup$
I'm doing an exercise about linear programming, but my answer doesn't agree with the answer from online calculators like this and this. Below is the problem statement:
$$Minimize: u = 4x - 3y, s.t.$$
$$y le -x + 1$$
$$y le x + 1$$
$$y ge 0$$
I found 3 corner: (-1,0), (0,1), (1,0) and min = -4 at (-1,0), but these calculators gives me the answer -3 at (0,1). Did I miss anything when solving this problem?

Your solution looks fine to me. BTW: you can useleqto get $leq$ andgeqto get $geq$.

Were you perhaps entering $xgeq 0$ as a constraint as well?

The online calculators assume nonnegativity. If you write $x$ as the difference of two nonnegative numbers, your first calculator gives the right answer
Minimize p = 4x1-4x2-3y subject to
x1-x2+y <= 1
-x1+x2+y <= 1
