Refer to Problem M7-45.
(a) If this is solved with the simplex algorithm, how many constraints and how many variables (including slack, surplus, and artificial variables) would be used?
(b) If the dual of this problem were formulated and solved with the simplex algorithm, how many constraints and how many variables (including slack, surplus, and artificial variables) would be used?
(c) If the simplex algorithm were used, would it be easier to solve the primal problem or the dual problem?
