1.3A Modeling Real-World Situations with Equations and Inequalities Linear programming is the process of taking various linear inequalities relating to some situation, and finding the "best" value obtainable under those conditions. A typical ‘example would be taking the limitations of materials and labor, and then determining the best” production levels for maximal profits under those conditions. 1) Yoware going shopping tonight and plan to stop at Old Navy where a sale is happening.
