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 = 6 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 0 S 1 + 0 S 2 + 0 S 3
subject to
5 x 1 + 10 x 2 + S 1 = 100

9 x1 + 5 x2 + S 3 = 90
and x 1, x 2, S 1, S 2, S 3 ≥ 0

Positive maximum C j - Z j is 8 and its column index is 2. So, the entering variable is x 2.

Minimum ratio is 10 and its row index is 1. So, the leaving basis variable is S 1.

∴ The pivot element is 10.

Entering = x 2, Departing = S 1, Key Element = 10

+ R 1(new) = R 1(old) ÷ 10

Positive maximum C j - Z j is 2 and its column index is 1. So, the entering variable is x 1.

Minimum ratio is 4 and its row index is 2. So, the leaving basis variable is S 2.

Since all C j - Z j ≤ 0

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

Max Z = 88
