Frequently asked questions

What does Linear Programming Solver do?

Solve linear programs with the simplex method: maximize or minimize a linear objective under ≤, ≥ and = constraints with up to 8 variables, returning the optimal value, the optimal point and detecting infeasible or unbounded problems.

What does it take into account?

It factors in maximize or minimize a linear objective under ≤, ≥ and = constraints with up to 8 variables, returning the optimal value, the optimal point and detecting infeasible or unbounded problems. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.

When would I actually use this?

Getting through a problem set: solving for the unknown, factoring an expression, and — more usefully — seeing the steps that got there.

What is the most common mistake?

Losing a solution when both sides are squared or divided by an expression. Squaring can add roots that do not satisfy the original equation, and dividing can remove one — check every answer back in the original.

How is Linear Programming Solver different from Linear Equation Solver?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Linear Equation Solver is the one to open when you need it to solve linear equations like 2x + 3 = 7, x/2 + 4 = 7 or 7x − 5 = 3x + 11 in one variable, with exact fractions and step-by-step working. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

System of Linear Equations Solver is the closest one after this: Solve 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 linear systems by Gaussian elimination, Cramer's rule or the matrix inverse — with the determinant, step-by-step working, and detection of no-solution and infinite-solution cases.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Absolute Value Equation Solver and Absolute Value Inequality Solver — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

The algebra is symbolic where the expression allows it and numeric otherwise, and the tool says which it used. Exact results are given as fractions or radicals rather than rounded decimals.
