The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $46 and $36 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $18,600 available for cultivating these crops. If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant? Formulate a system of equations that can be used to find the solution where x is the number of acres of corn planted and y is the number of acres of wheat planted. (Do not perform any row operations.) = 500 = 18,600 Write the augmented matrix corresponding to the system. (Do not reorder the equations. Let the first column represent x and the second column represent y.) 500 18,600 Using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method, pivot the matrix about the first entry in the first row. State the result. -4,400 Continue using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method until the final matrix is in row-reduced form. State the solution.
