Rewrite the system of inequalities, adding slack variables or subtracting surplus variables as needed.
-$15 x_{1}+3 x_{2} \leq 47$
$12 \mathrm{x}_{1}+6 \mathrm{x}_{2} \geq 63$
A) $15 x_{1}+3 x_{2}+s_{1}=47$
$12 x_{1}+6 x_{2}-s_{2}=63$
B) $15 x_{1}+3 x_{2}+s_{1}=47$
$12 \mathrm{x}_{1}+6 \mathrm{x}_{2}+\mathrm{s}_{2}=63$
C) $15 x_{1}+3 x_{2}-s 1=47$
$12 \mathrm{x}_{1}+6 \mathrm{x}_{2}-\mathrm{s}_{2}=63$
D) $15 x_{1}+3 x_{2}-s 1=47$
$12 \mathrm{x}_{1}+6 \mathrm{x}_{2}+\mathrm{s}_{2}=63$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first inequality is less than or equal to, so we add a slack variable. The second inequality is greater than or equal to, so we subtract a surplus variable.
