Solve linear equations using simplex method

Click For Summary
The simplex method is not applicable for directly solving linear equations like x1 + x2 = 5 and 2x1 + x2 = 4. Instead, it is designed to optimize a linear function subject to constraints represented by linear equations or inequalities. The user acknowledges this clarification and expresses gratitude for the information. Understanding the distinction between solving equations and optimization is crucial for applying the simplex method correctly. This discussion highlights the importance of knowing the appropriate mathematical techniques for different types of problems.

how can i solve

x1 + x2 = 5
2x1 + x2 = 4

using simplex method?

thanks

You don't. The "simplex" method is not used to solve equations, it is used to find a max or min of a linear function, constrained by linear equations or inequalities.
 
ok thanks..

now i know how to do it
