Find solution using dual-simplex method
MAX Z = -2x1 - x2
subject to
-3x1 - x2 <= -3
-4x1 - 3x2 <= -6
-x1 - 2x2 <= -3
and x1,x2 >= 0


Solution:
Problem is
Max `Z``=`` - ``2``x_1`` - ````x_2`
subject to
` - ``3``x_1`` - ````x_2``-3`
` - ``4``x_1`` - ``3``x_2``-6`
` - ````x_1`` - ``2``x_2``-3`
and `x_1,x_2 >= 0; `


The problem is converted to canonical form by adding slack, surplus and artificial variables as appropiate

1. As the constraint-1 is of type '`<=`' we should add slack variable `S_1`

2. As the constraint-2 is of type '`<=`' we should add slack variable `S_2`

3. As the constraint-3 is of type '`<=`' we should add slack variable `S_3`

After introducing slack variables
Max `Z``=`` - ``2``x_1`` - ````x_2`` + ``0``S_1`` + ``0``S_2`` + ``0``S_3`
subject to
` - ``3``x_1`` - ````x_2`` + ````S_1`=`-3`
` - ``4``x_1`` - ``3``x_2`` + ````S_2`=`-6`
` - ````x_1`` - ``2``x_2`` + ````S_3`=`-3`
and `x_1,x_2,S_1,S_2,S_3 >= 0`

`"Ratio"=(Z_j-C_j)/(S_2,j)`
and `S_2,j<0`

Minimum negative `X_B` is `-6` and its row index is `2`. So, the leaving basis variable is `S_2`.

Maximum negative ratio is `-0.3333` and its column index is `2`. So, the entering variable is `x_2`.

`:.` The pivot element is `-3`.

Entering `=x_2`, Departing `=S_2`, Key Element `=-3`

Minimum negative `X_B` is `-1` and its row index is `1`. So, the leaving basis variable is `S_1`.

Maximum negative ratio is `-0.4` and its column index is `1`. So, the entering variable is `x_1`.

`:.` The pivot element is `-5/3`.

Entering `=x_1`, Departing `=S_1`, Key Element `=-5/3`

`R_1`(new)`= R_1`(old) `xx(-3/5)`
`R_1`(old) = `-1``-5/3``0``1``-1/3``0`
`R_1`(new)`= R_1`(old) `xx(-3/5)``3/5``1``0``-3/5``1/5``0`


`R_2`(new)`= R_2`(old) - `4/3 R_1`(new)
`R_2`(old) = `2``4/3``1``0``-1/3``0`
`R_1`(new) = `3/5``1``0``-3/5``1/5``0`
`4/3 xx R_1`(new) = `4/5``4/3``0``-4/5``4/15``0`
`R_2`(new)`= R_2`(old) - `4/3 R_1`(new)`6/5``0``1``4/5``-3/5``0`


`R_3`(new)`= R_3`(old) - `5/3 R_1`(new)
`R_3`(old) = `1``5/3``0``0``-2/3``1`
`R_1`(new) = `3/5``1``0``-3/5``1/5``0`
`5/3 xx R_1`(new) = `1``5/3``0``-1``1/3``0`

`x_2``-1``6/5``0``1``4/5``-3/5``0`
`S_3``0``0``0``0``1``-1``1`
`Z=-12/5` `Z_j``-2``-1``2/5``1/5``0`
`Z_j-C_j``0``0``2/5``1/5``0`
Ratio---------------


Since all `Z_j-C_j >= 0` and all `X_(Bi) >= 0` thus the current solution is the optimal solution.

Hence, optimal solution is arrived with value of variables as :
`x_1=3/5,x_2=6/5`

Max `Z=-12/5`
