A blending process is to combine three components to create a final blind of 60,000 gallons. The three components cost $2, $1.5 and $1.25 per gallon respectively. Total cost of the components should equal 90,000. Another requirement of the blending is that the number of gallons used of component 1 should be twice the amount used of component three. Determine whether there is a combination of three components satisfying the blending restriction. Apply Gaussian elimination approach.

Question
a) A blending process is to combine three components to create a final blind of 60,000 gallons. The three components cost $2, $1.5 and $1.25 per gallon respectively. Total cost of the components should equal 90,000. Another requirement of the blending is that the number of gallons used of component 1 should be twice the amount used of component three. Determine whether there is a combination of three components satisfying the blending restriction. Apply Gaussian elimination approach.
