Question: Max z = 2x 1 x 2 + x 3 s.t. 3x 1 + x 2 +x 3

Max z = 2x1 x2 + x3

s.t. 3x1 + x2 +x3 <= 60

x1 x2 + 2x3 <= 10

x1 + x2 x3 <= 20

xi >=0, for i = 1,2,3.

  1. Work through the simplex method step by step in tabular form. You must provide the tabular form for each basic solution visited and be sure to identify your logic in identifying the entering/leaving variables. Provide the optimal solution, which includes values for all decision variables (including slack variables), and the objective function value. Tip: This problem can be solved in less than 5 iterations. (16 points)
