Given the linear programming problem
convert the problem constraints into a system of equations using the slack variables.
The system of equations by the use of slack variable from the problem constraint for maximizing
Answer to Problem 1RE
The system of equations for the given linear problem is
Explanation of Solution
Consider the given constraint inequalities.
There are two constraint inequalities, therefore two slack variables are required.
Suppose the two slack variables are
Add slack variable
Add slack variable
Therefore, the system of equations for the given linear problem is
