Solve the following by applying the simplex algorithm to the
Solution
Given: minimize:8x1+13x2+20x3 ---------------(1)
subject to:3x1+2x2+x3>=2 ---------------(2)
x1-x2+2x3>=4 ---------------(3)
2x2+2x3>-1 ---------------(4)
-2x1+3x3>=0 ---------------(5)
4x1-x3>=-2 ---------------(6)
if solve (5) and (6) then got 3x1+2x3=-2
3x1=-2+2x3 ------------(7)
and from (2) 2x2=-1-2x3 ------------(8)
(7),(8) subtude in (2)
then x3=5 then from(7) x1=8/3
and from (3) and x3,x1 then x2=26/3
so we know all x1,x2,x3 values so substute in (1)
then minimize is:8(8/3)+13(26/3)+20(5)
=712/3
=227.33
