What needs to be done to the two constraints in order to convert the problem to a standard form? MAX: ^{8 X}₁^{+ 4 X}₂ Subject to: ^{5 X}₁^{+ 5 X}₂^{≤ 20} 6 X₁+ 2 X₂≤ 18 X₁,X₂≥ 0 A)a slack variable needs to be added to each constraint to convert them to equalities. B)nothing. C)they need to be combined to a single constraint. D)they need to be subtracted side-by-side
