Question

A chemical manufacturer wants to lease a fleet of

railroad tank cars with a combined carrying capacity of

564,000

gallons. Tank cars with three different carrying capacities are available:

6,000

gallons,

12,000

gallons, and

24,000

gallons. How many of each type of tank car should be leased?

Let

be the number of cars with a

6,000

gallon capacity,

be the number of cars with a

12,000

gallon capacity, and

be the number of cars with a

24,000

gallon capacity. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice.

The unique solution is

x1=

x2=

and

x3=

(Simplify your answers.)

There are multiple possible combinations of how the tank cars should be leased. The combinations are obtained from the equations

x1= t+( ),

x2= t+( ),

and

x3=t

for

≤t≤ .

(Simplify your answers. Type integers or simplified fractions.)

There is no solution.
