    Linear programming is an optimization technique used to maximize or minimize an objective function subject to constraints. The document provides an example of using Excel's Solver tool to solve a linear programming problem with 5 constraints and 2 variables (x1 and x2) to maximize the objective function of 150x1 + 100x2. The solver returns the optimal values of 3.75 for x1 and 7.5 for x2, achieving the maximum objective value of 1312.5 within the constraint bounds.
