Answer :
Word Count : 419
To solve the given linear programming problem using the simplex method, we first convert it into its standard form by introducing slack variables as follows:
Maximize z = 9x1 + 7x2 + 7x3
Subject to:
3x1 + x2 + 2x3 + x4 = 12
x1 + 5x2 + 3x3 + x5 = 30
x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 ≥ 0
We can now represent this problem in a tableau format as follows:
| Basis | x1 | x2 | x3 | x4 | x5 | RHS |
