Directed Graphs and Network Flows · Medium problem

A flow network has source ss, sink tt, and vertices a,b,ca,b,c, with capacities c(s,a)=6c(s,a)=6, c(s,b)=4c(s,b)=4, c(a,b)=2c(a,b)=2, c(a,c)=4c(a,c)=4, c(b,c)=3c(b,c)=3, c(b,t)=3c(b,t)=3, c(c,t)=6c(c,t)=6. A flow sends f(s,a)=5f(s,a)=5, f(s,b)=3f(s,b)=3, f(a,b)=1f(a,b)=1, f(b,c)=2f(b,c)=2, f(b,t)=2f(b,t)=2, with f(a,c)f(a,c) left to satisfy conservation and f(c,t)f(c,t) then fixed to balance cc. What is the value of this flow?
