Ace Novelty manufactures Giant Pandas, Saint Bernards, and Big Birds. Each Giant Panda requires yd of plush, ft of stuffing, and pieces of trim; each Saint Bernard requires yd of plush, ft of stuffing, and pieces of trim; and each Big Bird requires yd of plush, ft of stuffing, and pieces of trim. If yd of plush, ft of stuffing, and 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.

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
Using the GaussJordan elimination method, perform all needed operations required to write the matrix in rowreduced 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.
