Use the simplex method to solve the linear programming problem.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. (Simplify your answers.)
A. The maximum is
B. There is no maximum.
Step 1 :Convert the inequalities to equations by introducing slack variables.
Step 2 :Set up the initial simplex tableau.
Step 3 :Identify the pivot column (the column corresponding to the variable to increase) and the pivot row (the row corresponding to the variable to decrease).
Step 4 :Perform row operations to make the pivot element 1 and all other elements in the pivot column 0.
Step 5 :Repeat steps 3 and 4 until an optimal solution is found.
Step 6 :The optimization process indicates that the problem appears to be unbounded. This means that there is no maximum value for the objective function under the given constraints.
Step 7 :
