Solve the following system of linear inequalities using the simplex method and find the maximum value of the objective function:
Step 5: The final solution is obtained by reading the last column of the tableau:
Step 1 :Step 1: Convert the inequalities to equations by introducing slack variables:
Step 2 :Step 2: Set up the initial simplex tableau:
Step 3 :Step 3: Perform the pivot operation. The pivot element is the one in the first column and second row. After the pivot operation, the new simplex tableau is:
Step 4 :Step 4: Perform the pivot operation again. The pivot element is the one in the second column and first row. After the pivot operation, the final simplex tableau is:
Step 5 :Step 5: The final solution is obtained by reading the last column of the tableau:
