This document discusses the process for determining optimality and selecting entering and leaving variables in the simplex method for linear programming. It states that for a maximization problem, all numbers in the net evaluation row must be greater than or equal to zero for an optimal solution. The entering variable is the one with the largest positive value in the net evaluation row. To select the leaving variable, you divide each basis variable's current objective value (Q) by its sub-rate in the pivot column and choose the one with the smallest positive result.
