How to show that a linear program has no maximum?

Suppose you have a standard maximum program, where the constants on the right hand side are nonnegative. Suppose further that a variable occurs on the objective with positive coefficient, but appears in no other constraint. Show that the program has no maximum.

If the variable $x$ is unconstrained and in the objective function, then obviously you can set its value as large as you want : the problem has no maximum.

For example : maximize $f(x,y)=x+y$ subject to $y\le 4$ is unbounded.
