Consider the following linear programming problem

 maximise 2x1+3x2 subject to x1x214x1x210x26xi0,i=1,2\begin{array}{ll} \text { maximise } & -2 x_{1}+3 x_{2} \\ \text { subject to } & x_{1}-x_{2} \geq 1 \\ & 4 x_{1}-x_{2} \geq 10 \\ & x_{2} \leq 6 \\ & x_{i} \geq 0, i=1,2 \end{array}

Write down the Phase One problem for (1) and solve it.

By using the solution of the Phase One problem as an initial basic feasible solution for the Phase Two simplex algorithm, solve (1), i.e., find the optimal tableau and read the optimal solution (x1,x2)\left(x_{1}, x_{2}\right) and optimal value from it.
