We all use linear programming whether we realize it or not. Simple calculations such as length of time to get from point A to point B when traveling at an average of x miles per hour are linear equations. provide an example with the formula and calculated answer regarding how you use linear calculations in your day-by-day activities
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Consider the problem of finding total profit a baker would make in 6 months.
Suppose the baker spends $200 for the initial setup and then earns $170 in sales per month.
Here we need to set up a linear equation to find the total profit in 6 months.
