To convert F1F1F1S1≤F1F1F10 constraints into = constraints, the Simplex method adds slack variables to the constraint. Slacks are variables added to inequality constraints to make them into equation constraints. They are called slack variables because they add flexibility or slack to the constraint by allowing it to be satisfied as equality or inequality.
