Now we need to use row operations to reinsert the standard basis vectors e

the columns were they were located in the last simplex table from Phase I – the x

and x
-column respectively. This yields the simplex table

Now we being the minimum simplex algorithm. The only variable column starting with a
positive number is the column corresponding to the x
variable. There is only one positive

choice for pivoting in this column. So, we pivot on the 1. This yields the simplex table

Since there are no more x-variable columns starting with a negative number, we are done
with the minimum simplex algorithm. This results in the solution: the minimum z value is
15 attained at the basic feasible solution x
= 0, x
= 0, x
= 2, and x
= 3.
