Not what you're looking for?
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.

subject to the constraints
X1 + 3X2 + 2X3 <= 10 Eq(1)
4X1 + 2X2 + 3X3 <= 8 Eq(2)
X1 >= 0, X2 >= 0, X3 >= 0
The complete solution, under proper formatting and containing tables, is provided in the attached file.
(a) Rewrite the two constraints as equations by adding slack variables S1 and S2.
Add one slack variable to each constraint. Let S1 be the slack variable in constraint eq(1) and S2 be the lack variable in constraint eq(2).
Constraints with slack variables are
X1 + 3X2 + 2X3 + S1 = 10 Eq(1)
4X1 + 2X2 ...
