Formulate but do not solve the problem The Johnson Farm has

Formulate but do not solve the problem: The Johnson Farm has 500 acres of land allotted for cultivating corn and wheat. The cost of cultivating corn and wheat (including seeds and labor) is $44 and $32 per acre, respectively. Jacob Johnson has $17,800 available for cultivating these crops. If he wishes to use all the allotted land and his entire budget for cultivating these two crops, how many acres of each crop should he plant? (Let x and y denote the number of acres of corn and wheat, respectively.)

_______=500

_______=17,800

Solution

x+y=500

42x+32y=17800
