Rewrite the two constraints as equations by adding slack


Consider the following maximum problem in standard form:

Maximize Z = 8X1 + 2X2 + 3X3

Subject to the constraints

X1 + 3X2 + 2X3 < 10

4X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 < 8

X1 > 0, X2 > 0, X3 > 0

(a) Rewrite the two constraints as equations by adding slack variables S1 and S2.

(b) Set up the initial simplex tableau for this problem.
