You have uploaded an image containing several linear programming problems, all of which need to be solved using the **simplex method**. Let’s go through the problems one by one:

### Problem Set:

   \]
   \[
   x_j \geq 0, j = 1, 3

2. **Problem (b):**

   \]
   \[
   4x_1 - 7x_2 + 3x_3 + x_6 = 20
   \]

   \]
   \[
   4x_1 - 3x_2 + x_3 + x_5 = 15
   \]
   \[
   -2x_1 + 2x_2 - x_3 + x_6 = 5
   \]
   \[
   x_j \geq 0, j = 1, 6
   \]

6. **Problem (f):**
   \[
   f(x) = -x_1 - 5x_2 + 4x_3 - 2x_4 \rightarrow \text{minimize}
   \]
   Subject to:
   \[
   x_1 - 4x_2 + 3x_3 - 6x_4 \leq 13
   \]
   \[
   x_1 + 2x_2 + 3x_4 \leq 9
   \]
   \[
   -3x_1 - x_2 - x_3 + 2x_4 \leq 8

### Next Step:
To apply the **simplex method**, the problems must be converted into standard form. This typically involves:
1. Expressing the inequalities as equalities using slack variables.
2. Constructing the initial simplex tableau.
3. Iterating through the simplex method steps to reach the optimal solution.

Would you like to proceed with a specific problem or would you like help setting up the initial tableau for one of these problems?

### Additional Questions:
1. Would you like a detailed explanation of the simplex method process for a particular problem?
2. Should I help with converting the inequalities to standard form for a specific problem?
3. Are you familiar with how slack variables are introduced in the simplex method?
4. Do you need assistance in understanding how to interpret the simplex tableau?
5. Would you like to see a numerical solution for any of the problems using the simplex method?

#### Tip: 
In the simplex method, the choice of entering and leaving variables during each iteration determines the path toward the optimal solution. Understanding how to pivot correctly can help solve larger problems more efficiently.
