PHASE ONE

The problem is converted to canonical form by adding slack, surplus and artificial variables as appropiate

1. As the constraint-1 is of type '' we should add slack variable S1
2. As the constraint-2 is of type '' we should subtract surplus variable S2 and add artificial variable A1
3. As the constraint-3 is of type '' we should subtract surplus variable S3 and add artificial variable A2

After introducing slack,surplus,artificial variables

Max Z = - A1 - A2
subject to
x1 + x2 + x3 + S1 = 400
2 x1 + x2 - x3 - S2 + A1 = 102
