Simplex Method to solve LPP

What is the Simplex Method? The simplex algorithm is the most extended procedure to solve the linear programming problem (LPP) developed by George Bernard Dantzig in 1947. Most of the real world linear programming problems have more than two variables. Such problems with more than two variables cannot be solved graphically. The simplex method is …
