Lavinia, is planning Edward and Bella's wedding. She ordered roses to be delivered to three locations shown in the network below. The Cullen's house (node 2) needs 1000 roses, Charlie's house (node 4) needs 800 roses, and Billy's house (node 7) needs 200 roses. The numbers next to the arcs of the network represent shipping costs per rose (in cents). The roses are coming from three local growers in the city of Forks (nodes 1, 3, and 5). Each of them can supply up to 700 roses. Arrows with two heads in the picture (between nodes 5 and 7, and between 5 and 6) simply mean that shipments can be made in both directions (same cost per rose either way). 

Formulate and solve a linear optimization model to determine the shipment plan that minimizes the total cost of delivering all the roses.
