In a maximization linear programming problem, the ____ variables represent the difference between the right-hand sides and left-hand sides of less than or equal to ($\le$ ) inequality constraints.
A) dual
B) slack
C) primal
D) both a and b
E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Slack variables are added to less than or equal to constraints in a linear programming problem to convert them into equalities, facilitating the use of the simplex method. They represent the unused resources or the difference between the left-hand side and right-hand side of the constraints.
