Math Problem Statement

Consider the following linear program: Maximize x1 + x2 Subject to: x1 − 2x2 ≤ 4 x1 ≤ 5 2x1 − x2 ≤ 6 x1, x2 ≥ 0. Use the simplex method to find the optimal solution to this LP or show that it does not exist. When constructing the canonical plateau, please include -z (rather than z) in the first column and the first row. So, the values in the first row should be 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
