Find solution using Simplex(BigM) method
MIN Z = x1 + x2
subject to
2x1 + 4x2 >= 4
x1 + 7x2 >= 7
and x1,x2 >= 0

Solution:
Problem is
Min `Z``=``````x_1`` + ````x_2`
subject to
```2``x_1`` + ``4``x_2`≥`4`
`````x_1`` + ``7``x_2`≥`7`
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 subtract surplus variable `S_1` and add artificial variable `A_1`

2. As the constraint-2 is of type '`>=`' we should subtract surplus variable `S_2` and add artificial variable `A_2`

After introducing surplus,artificial variables
Min `Z``=``````x_1`` + ````x_2`` + ``0``S_1`` + ``0``S_2`` + ``M``A_1`` + ``M``A_2`
subject to
```2``x_1`` + ``4``x_2`` - ````S_1`` + ````A_1`=`4`
`````x_1`` + ``7``x_2`` - ````S_2`` + ````A_2`=`7`
and `x_1,x_2,S_1,S_2,A_1,A_2 >= 0`

Since all `C_j-Z_j >= 0`

Hence, optimal solution is arrived with value of variables as :
`x_1=0,x_2=1`

Min `Z = 1`
