This Systems of Linear Equations resource (tasks with complete key) addresses FIVE real-life problems and their optimal solutions.

• Feeding patients in a hospital
• Renting vehicles at maximum profit
• Feeding rats in an experiment
• Taking optimal passengers on a cruise boat
• Selling eggs at the farmers' market for the most profit.

This work, also called linear programming, demonstrates how practical and applicable the algebra of systems of equations is in real life.

This resource works great as ... 

• an assessment exercise
• a task
• independent work
• distance learning
• math stations
• math centers
• homework
• constructive group work when introducing the topic.
