Step 1
The objective function is $z = 2x_1 + 7x_2$. To set up the simplex tableau, we move all variables to the left side, setting the right side to zero: $-2x_1 - 7x_2 + z = 0$ Show more…

In Exercises 1–6, the initial tableau of a linear programming problem is given. Use the simplex method to solve each problem. $$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccc|c}{x_{1}} & {x_{2}} & {x_{3}} & {s_{1}} & {s_{2}} & {s_{3}} & {z} \\ {2} & {1} & {2} & {1} & {0} & {0} & {0} & {25} \\ {4} & {3} & {2} & {0} & {1} & {0} & {0} & {40} \\ {3} & {1} & {6} & {0} & {0} & {1} & {0} & {60} \\ \hline-4 & {-2} & {-3} & {0} & {0} & {0} & {1} & {0}\end{array}\right]$$
