Use Slack Variables to Rewrite This Problem So That All $\quad 2.5 \mathbf { X } _ { 1 } + 1.5 \mathbf { X } _ { \mathbf { 2 } }$

Essay

Use slack variables to rewrite this problem so that all its constraints are equality constraints.
MIN: $\quad 2.5 \mathbf { X } _ { 1 } + 1.5 \mathbf { X } _ { \mathbf { 2 } }$
Subject ta:
$$\begin{array} { l } 4 X _ { 1 } + 3 X _ { 2} \geq 24 \\2 X _ { 1 } + 4 X _ { 2} \geq 24 \\X _ { 1 }, X _ { 7 } \geq 0\end{array}$$
