Linear Programming

Application and Reflection of Systems of

Equations
 Description of Assignment

For this assignment, my group and I worked together to solve a

few problems using linear programming. We used an online
application (Desmos) as well as a paper worksheet to graph the
equations. Then we calculated the profit/loss and chose the best
solution. My group and I used multiple 21st Century Skills. We used
our thinking and problem solving skills to solve the equations and to
troubleshoot the online application. We also used our communication
and interpersonal skills to work together as a group to solve the
problems. Our group didn’t have a leader; we all collaborated
together. Kutwie, Toob, and I all wrote and compared equations
before using Toob’s colored pencils to graph it on paper, and check
our work with Desmos. This project also allowed us to sculpt our
financial literacy skills through profit optimization and minimal loss.
