Find solution using dual-simplex method
MIN Z = 2x1 + 3x2 + 0x3
subject to
2x1 - x2 - x3 >= 3
x1 - x2 + x3 >= 2
and x1,x2,x3 >= 0 Solution:Problem is Min `Z` | `=` | `` | `2` | `x_1` | ` + ` | `3` | `x_2` | | | |
|
subject to |
`` | `2` | `x_1` | ` - ` | `` | `x_2` | ` - ` | `` | `x_3` | ≥ | `3` | `` | `` | `x_1` | ` - ` | `` | `x_2` | ` + ` | `` | `x_3` | ≥ | `2` |
|
and `x_1,x_2,x_3 >= 0; ` |
In order to apply the dual simplex method, convert Min Z to Max Z and all `>=` constraint to `<=` constraint by multiply -1.
Problem is Max `Z` | `=` | ` - ` | `2` | `x_1` | ` - ` | `3` | `x_2` | | | |
|
subject to |
` - ` | `2` | `x_1` | ` + ` | `` | `x_2` | ` + ` | `` | `x_3` | ≤ | `-3` | ` - ` | `` | `x_1` | ` + ` | `` | `x_2` | ` - ` | `` | `x_3` | ≤ | `-2` |
|
and `x_1,x_2,x_3 >= 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`
After introducing slack variablesMax `Z` | `=` | ` - ` | `2` | `x_1` | ` - ` | `3` | `x_2` | ` + ` | `0` | `x_3` | ` + ` | `0` | `S_1` | ` + ` | `0` | `S_2` |

Minimum negative `X_B` is `-3` and its row index is `1`. So,
the leaving basis variable is `S_1`.
Maximum negative ratio is `-1` and its column index is `1`. So,
the entering variable is `x_1`.

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=5/3,x_2=0,x_3=1/3`
Max `Z=-10/3`
`:.` Min `Z=10/3`
