Question 1159426: A contractor builds two types of homes. The first type requires one lot, $12,000 capital, and 150 labordays to build and is sold for a profit of $2400. The second type requires one lot, $32,000 capital, and 200 labor-days to build and is sold for a profit of $3400. The contractor owns 150 lots and has available for the job $2,880,000 capital and 24,000 labor-days. How many homes of each type will realize the greatest profit?
must be solved using the gauss Jordan method

The Gauss-Jordan method is a method for solving systems of equations.

As far as I can see, it has no application in a problem like this....
