As a simple example, the following linear programming problem,
\[\begin{split}\begin{array}[t]{ll}
\mbox{minimize} & -4x_1 - 5x_2 \\
\mbox{subject to} & 2x_1 + x_2 \leq 3 \\
& x_1 + 2x_2 \leq 3 \\
& x_1 \geq 0, \quad x_2 \geq 0.
\end{array}\end{split}\]
can be solved using a spreadsheet as shown in the figure below,
