Pivoting Proof on a Canonical Maximum Tableau
$begingroup$
Problem in Question
For this problem, we are supposed to prove that pivoting on $a_{ij}$ in a canonical maximum tableau is equivalent to solving the $i^{th}$ equation of the tableau for the $j^{th}$ variable and replacing every occurrence of this variable in the other equations of the tableau by the resulting expression.
For my proof, I used the entry $a_{22}$ as an example and did the respective algebra and pivoting to prove that they result in identical final expressions. However, from my knowledge of proofs, if I am asked to prove for $a_{ij}$, it means that I must prove it for ALL variables.
I am wondering how to do this. I am not sure where to start.
