In Problems 37-40, there is a tie for the choice of the first pivot column. Use the simplex method to solve each problem two different ways: first by choosing column 1 as the first pivot column, and then by choosing column 2 as the first pivot column. Discuss the relationship between these two solutions. Maximize P = x 1 + x 2 subject to x 1 + 2 x 2 ≤ 10 x 1 ≤ 6 x 2 ≤ 4 x 1 , x 2 ≥ 0

The problem below involves three variables. Solve it with the simplex method, Excel, or some other technology.
A contractor builds three types of houses: the Aries, the Belfaic and the Wexford. The following table gives the number of lots, labor-hours and the amount of capital needed
for each type of house. There are 13 lots, 52,400 labor-hours, and $3,684,200 of capital available for the contractor's use. The profit on the Aries is $20,000, the profit on
the Belfair is $25,000 and the profit on the Wexford is $30.000.

Patio Iron makes wrought iron outdoor dining tables, chairs, and stools. Each table uses 8 feet of a standard width wrought iron, 2 hours of labor for cutting and assembly, and 2 hours of labor for detail and finishing work. Each chair uses 6 feet of the wrought iron, 2 hours of cutting and assembly labor, and 1.5 hours of detail and finishing labor. Each stool uses 1 foot of the wrought iron, 1.5 hours for cutting and assembly, and 0.5 hour for detail and finishing work, and the daily demand for stools is at most 16. Each day Patio Iron has available at most 164 feet of wrought iron, 72 hours for cutting and assembly, and 50 hours for detail and finishing. The profits are $60 for each dining table, $48 for each chair, and $36 for each stool.
Suppose Patio Iron wants to maximize its profits each day by making dining tables, chairs, and stools.
Let x be the number of dining…
