Problem 38
The reduced row echelon form of a system of linear equations is given. Write the system of equations corresponding to the given matrix. Use \(x, y ;\) or \(x, y, z ;\) or \(x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, x_{4}\) as variables. Determine whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. If it is consistent, give the solution. $$ \left[\begin{array}{llll|l} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right] $$

Problem 59
Bill's Coffee House, a store that specializes in coffee, has available 75 pounds (lb) of \(A\) grade coffee and \(120 \mathrm{lb}\) of \(B\) grade coffee. These will be blended into 1-lb packages as follows: an economy blend that contains 4 ounces (oz) of \(A\) grade coffee and 12 oz of \(B\) grade coffee, and a superior blend that contains 8 oz of \(A\) grade coffee and 8 oz of \(B\) grade coffee. (a) Using \(x\) to denote the number of packages of the economy blend and \(y\) to denote the number of packages of the superior blend, write a system of linear inequalities that describes the possible numbers of packages of each kind of blend. (b) Graph the system and label the corner points.
