Next, we need to obtain a coefficient of zero for the entering basic variable () in every other equation (equations (0) and (2)). | |
The coefficient of
in equation (0) is: -20
To obtain a coefficient of 0 we need to: |
|
Add 20 times equation (1) to equation (0). | |
The coefficient of
in equation (2) is: 3
Therefore, to obtain a coefficient of 0 we need to: |
|
Subtract 3 times equation (1) from equation (2). |
