MAXIMIZATION

Working with <= constraints

Stop the algorithm when ALL coefficients in the objective function are POSITIVES

Optimality: entering variable should be the MOST negative coefficient in the objective function.

The coefficients in the objective function must change the sign when they are introduced in the Table: Example: z=3x+7y is z-3x-7y

Leaving variable should be the smallest intercept (minimum ratio with strictly positive denominator) in the direction of the entering variable. The intention is not alter the equality
