The software you use to solve linear programs is only able to solve minimization

Question

The software you use to solve linear programs is only able to solve minimization problems, but you need to solve a maximization problem. You ask your professor, who is in a bad mood and tells you it's not a problem and to figure it out yourself is she right, and, if so, how can you use your software to solve the problem? Give an example of where decisions that appear good in the short-term may not be beneficial in the long-term. Explain your example. In the linear programming shipping problems discussed in class and the homework, why was it necessary to specify some of the constraints as strict equalities, rather than the inequalities that perhaps made more sense from the perspective of the formulation?
