Hurst's Feed & Seed sold to one customer 5 bushels of wheat, 2 bushels of corn, and 3 bushels of rye, for $31.00.
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:: 5x + 2y + 3z = 31
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "To another customer he sold 2 bushels of wheat, 3 bushels of corn, and 5 bushels of rye for $27.60.
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq: 2x + 3y + 5z = 27.6
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "To a third customer he sold 3 bushels of wheat, 5 bushels of corn, and 2 bushels of rye for $32.70.
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq: 3x + 5y + 2z = 32.7
\n" ); document.write( "=====================================
\n" ); document.write( "Write down the system of equations and the augmented matrix needed to solve this problem.
