Question

Convert this system of linear inequalities into a system of equations by using slack variables. { _ _ + z = 0

The image shows a linear programming problem:

Objective Function:
\[ Z = 40x_1 + 30x_2 \]

Subject to the constraints:
\[ 
\begin{align*}
x_1 + x_2 & \leq 12 \\
2x_1 + x_2 & \leq 16 \\
x_1 & \geq 0 \\
x_2 & \geq 0 \\
\end{align*}
\]

Additionally, there's a note discussing slack variables, indicating that they are used to convert inequalities into equalities within linear programming.
