If all the equations are linear per LP (linear programming), the Simplex Method developed by George Dantzig around 1947 can be used to solve for optimal decisions (with a calculator in his day). In my class, 1 teach that back in the day (around the 1960s), the Simplex Method was being used by various corporate functions including advertising, finance, and operations/manufacturing.
