Solution Steps

Step 1: Introduction to Slack Variables

In linear programming, slack variables are introduced to convert inequalities into equalities. This is done by adding a non-negative slack variable to each inequality constraint.

Step 2: Convert the First Inequality

The first inequality given is: \[ 5x_1 + 2x_2 \leq 12 \] To convert this into an equation, we introduce a slack variable \(s_1 \geq 0\): \[ 5x_1 + 2x_2 + s_1 = 12 \]

Step 3: Convert the Second Inequality

The second inequality given is: \[ 7x_1 + 6x_2 \leq 14 \] To convert this into an equation, we introduce another slack variable \(s_2 \geq 0\): \[ 7x_1 + 6x_2 + s_2 = 14 \]

Final Answer

The system of equations obtained by introducing slack variables is: \[ \begin{aligned} 5x_1 + 2x_2 + s_1 &= 12 \\ 7x_1 + 6x_2 + s_2 &= 14 \\ x_1, x_2, s_1, s_2 &\geq 0 \end{aligned} \]

\(\boxed{\begin{aligned} 5x_1 + 2x_2 + s_1 &= 12 \\ 7x_1 + 6x_2 + s_2 &= 14 \end{aligned}}\)
