Question
An animal breeder can buy four types of food for Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs. Each case of Brand A contains
25
units of fiber,
40
units of protein, and
40
units of fat. Each case of Brand B contains
50
units of fiber,
40
units of protein, and
40
units of fat. Each case of Brand C contains
125
units of fiber,
80
units of protein, and
100
units of fat. Each case of Brand D contains
50
units of fiber,
40
units of protein, and
20
units of fat. How many cases of each brand should the breeder mix together to obtain a food that provides
1725
units of fiber,
1200
units of protein, and
1380
units of fat?Question content area bottom

Let x represent the number of cases of Brand A, y represent the number of cases of Brand B, z represent the number of cases of Brand C, and w represent be the number of cases of Brand D. There are four ways in which the breeder can mix brands to obtain a food that provides
1725
units of fiber,
1200
units of protein, and
1380
units of fat.If
w=0,
