(Part a - 8 points) Formulate and list the linear program for
the above problem to minimize the total student-miles traveled per
day. You do NOT need to solve your listed program.
(Part b - 2 points) If Thomson Elementary School will be closed
to conserve the school system’s resources and its budget, how will
you efficiently revise your linear program to cope with this school
closing?
