Find solution using Two-Phase method
MIN Z = 5x1 + 2x2 + 10x3
subject to
x1 - x3 <= 10
x2 + x3 >= 10
and x1,x2,x3 >= 0


Solution:
Problem is
Min `Z``=````5``x_1`` + ``2``x_2`` + ``10``x_3`
subject to
`````x_1`` - ````x_3``10`
`````x_2`` + ````x_3``10`
and `x_1,x_2,x_3 >= 0; `


-->Phase-1<--

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 subtract surplus variable `S_2` and add artificial variable `A_1`

After introducing slack,surplus,artificial variables
Min `Z``=``````A_1`
subject to
`````x_1`` - ````x_3`` + ````S_1`=`10`
`````x_2`` + ````x_3`` - ````S_2`` + ````A_1`=`10`
and `x_1,x_2,x_3,S_1,S_2,A_1 >= 0`

Negative minimum `C_j-Z_j` is `-1` and its column index is `2`. So, the entering variable is `x_2`.

Minimum ratio is `10` and its row index is `2`. So, the leaving basis variable is `A_1`.

`:.` The pivot element is `1`.

Entering `=x_2`, Departing `=A_1`, Key Element `=1`

Since all `C_j-Z_j >= 0`

Hence, optimal solution is arrived with value of variables as :
`x_1=0,x_2=10,x_3=0`

Min `Z = 0`

-->Phase-2<--

we eliminate the artificial variables and change the objective function for the original,

Hence, optimal solution is arrived with value of variables as :

Min `Z = 20`
