Golding Landscaping and Plants Cynthia (Matson) Kain Daniel Webster College Nashua‚ New Hampshire 6-23-2013 THE PROBLEM To formulate a problem in linear programming‚ there are three steps in the process; decision variables‚ an objective function and constraints. Decision variables or “unknown entities” tell us what we are solving for (Balakrishnan‚ 2013). In the Golding Landscape case‚ we are solving for variables to tell us which combination of chemicals will produce the most cost effective

Linear programming is a technique which shows practical problems as a series of mathematical equations which can be manipulated to find the optimum or best solution. Blending is a graphical approach to linear programming which deals with resource allocation subject to constraints. It is a model which assists firms in deciding the best possible utilisation of limited resources. Each resource constraint is represented as a mathematical linear equation. A linear expression is an equation which links
