SOLUTION OF LPP USING SIMPLEX METHOD : MATHEMATICS FOR ECONOMISTS III
In our lecture two, we were able to see how a LPP can be solved using the graphical method. In this lecture we will learn how to a LPP can be solved using the simplex method. Steps • Formulate the problem in the standard way. • Convert the inequalities into equations through the addition of a slack variable if the inequality is of a less than type (≤). • A slack variable represents unused capacity in the constraint. E.g. 4X1+6X2≤180 Labour hours constraint 4X1+6X2 + S1 =180 S1= unused capacitY
