how can i solve
x1 + x2 = 5
2x1 + x2 = 4
using simplex method?
thanks

The simplex method is an algorithm used to solve linear programming problems. It starts with an initial feasible solution and then iteratively improves it until an optimal solution is found. The algorithm involves selecting a pivot element, performing row operations to create a new feasible solution, and repeating the process until no further improvements can be made.
The steps involved in solving linear equations using the simplex method are:
In linear programming, maximization and minimization refer to the goal of the objective function. In maximization problems, the objective function is to be maximized, i.e. the highest possible value is desired. In minimization problems, the objective function is to be minimized, i.e. the lowest possible value is desired. The simplex method can be used to solve both types of problems.
No, the simplex method can only be used for linear equations. Nonlinear equations involve terms with exponents and cannot be solved using the same algorithm as linear equations. Nonlinear equations require different methods, such as the Newton-Raphson method or the gradient descent method.
The simplex method is advantageous because it guarantees finding the optimal solution for a linear programming problem. It is also a relatively straightforward and easy-to-understand algorithm, making it accessible for those without advanced mathematical knowledge. Additionally, the simplex method can handle multiple variables and constraints, making it useful for solving complex problems.
