Answer

Step 5: The final solution is obtained by reading the last column of the tableau: x=2,y=1.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Convert the inequalities to equations by introducing slack variables: {x+y+s1=52x+y+s2=8x,y,s1,s20

Step 2 :Step 2: Set up the initial simplex tableau: 111052101823000

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: 0110.5110.500.5401018

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: 0110.51102120020.59

Step 5 :Step 5: The final solution is obtained by reading the last column of the tableau: x=2,y=1.
