Minimize z = 20x1 + 32x2 + 40x3,
subject to
3x1 + x2 + 6x3 ≥ 9
x1 + x2 ≥ 9
4x2 + x3 ≥ 12
x1 ≥ 0, x2 ≥ 0, x3 ≥ 0.

solve for x1, x2, x3 and z

Step-by-step explanation:

1. constraints with "" we should subtract surplus variable S1, S2, S3 and add artificial variable A1, A2, A3

Hence Z = 20 x1 + 32x2 + 40x3 + 0S1 + 0S2 + 0S3 + MA1 + MA2 + MA3

subject to

and

5   1/4   miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

15   3/4 / 3 = 5   1/4
