Use the simplex method to find two optimal solutions of the following LP problem: Maximize z = 5x1 + 3x2 + x3 subject to: x1 + 3x2 + 3x3 ≤ 6 5x1 + 3x2 + 6x3 ≤ 15 x1 ≥ 0, x2 ≥ 0, x3 ≥ 0

Step 1
We introduce slack variables $s_1$ and $s_2$ to convert the inequalities to equalities: $x_1 + 3x_2 + 3x_3 + s_1 = 6$ $5x_1 + 3x_2 + 6x_3 + s_2 = 15$ Show more…

Use the simplex method to solve each linear programming problem. $\begin{array}{ll}{\text { Maximize }} & {z=2 x_{1}+5 x_{2}+x_{3}} \\ {\text { subject to: }} & {x_{1}-5 x_{2}+2 x_{3} \leq 30} \\ {} & {4 x_{1}-3 x_{2}+6 x_{3} \leq 72} \\ {\text { with }} & {x_{1} \geq 0, \quad x_{2} \geq 0, \quad x_{3} \geq 0}\end{array}$
