Ace Novelty manufactures Giant Pandas, Saint Bernards, and Big Birds. Each Giant Panda requires 3 yd2 of plush, 30 ft3 of stuffing, and 5 pieces of trim; each Saint Bernard requires 4 yd2 of plush, 35 ft3 of stuffing, and 8 pieces of trim; and each Big Bird requires 5 yd2 of plush, 25 ft3 of stuffing, and 15 pieces of trim. If 9,400 yd2 of plush, 65,000 ft3 of stuffing, and 23,400 pieces of trim are available, how many of each of the stuffed animals should the company manufacture if all the material is to be used?
Formulate a system of equations that can be used to find the solution. Let x, y, and z denote the number of Giant Pandas, Saint Bernards, and Big Birds, respectively. (Do not perform any row operations.)
3x+4y+5z
=9,400
30x+35y+25z
=65,000
5x+8y+15z
=23,400
Write the augmented matrix corresponding to the system. (Do not reorder the equations. Let the first column represent x, the second column represent y, and the third column represent z.)
9,400

Using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method, perform all needed operations required to write the matrix in row-reduced form and state the final result.

State the solution. (The system has infinitely many solutions. Express your answer in terms of the parameter t. Use s if a second parameter is needed.)
(x, y, z)=
4600+5t,58005t,t
Give one specific solution. (Do not use a parameter.)
(x, y, z)=
