5. South Central University is planning to buy new copier machines for its library. They are considering two different models: Xrx 239H, a high-speed copier, and Cnn 457L, a lower speed but less expensive model. The Xrx can handle 20,000 copies a day and costs $6,000. The Cnn can handle 10,000 copies a day and would cost $4,000. The library would like to purchase at least six copiers so they can put one on each floor of their six-story building. They also would like to have at least one of the high-speed models. Finally, the copiers must be able to handle a total capacity of at least 75,000 copies per day. \

Write the LP formulation to determine how many copiers of each model South Central should purchase.
