Question
Chapter B, Problem 8DQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The number of feasible solutions in a linear program and the ones we need to analyze to find the optimal solution.
Introduction:
Linear programming:
It is a linear optimization technique followed to develop a best outcome for the problem on hand. The outcome might be maximum profit or less cost which are represented by a linear relationship. The outcome will take into consideration the constraints present in achieving the solution.
Feasible solution:
A feasible solution is a set of all the possible values for the defined decision variables. The feasible solution is achieved after satisfying all the constraints.

The city bus system can transport a maximum of 20,000 people to the city center, while the subway systemhas a capacity of transporting at most 10,000.
