Exercise 7
The next questions are all related to exercise 7 of your syllabus (blending
problem).
You already formulated the general LP-model at home (exercise 7b).
7-c/d Open the existing file << DS1_07 Multi blend.mos >>. Translate the model formulation you found in
exercise b. into the syntax of Xpress-IVE such that the problem can be solved in Xpress-IVE.
Give the model formulation. You can either use the formula editor, or write your model on paper and
insert a picture of it here. Note: if you managed to make a flawless model in your homework, you can
copy that model here.

Suppose (!) you want to solve the problem in exercise 7d. manually; so producing three final products
(j=1,2,3) with five different raw-materials (i=1,2,3,4,5).
7-e Do you need to apply the two-phase method? (Argue your answer!)
Yes, in the constraints with >= you get a – Y. If you put this in the simplex tableaus, you don't have a
unit matrix. So you have to add Z to get the unit matrix. Then you have to get rid of the Z in phase I
