The primal problem is as follows:

$\min w=2x+4y+5z+3q$

subject to $$ \begin{split} -x - 2y + 2z &\geq 40\\ -3x - 2z - q &\geq -100\\ x - 2y - z + 4q &\geq 50 \end{split} $$

I have transformed it into dual LP and obtained:

$\max v=40a-100b+50c$

subject to

$$ \begin{split} -a-3b+c \leq 2\\ -2a-2c \leq 4\\ 2a-2b-c \leq 5\\ -b+4c \leq 3 \end{split} $$

I've tried using excel solver for the primal LP and obtained the answers. I need to solve this problem by using the dual approach but I can't proceed with the simplex table for the dual. Can anyone help me with this?
