Math Problem Statement

do row operations. A dietitian at a hospital wants a patient to have a meal that has 106 grams of​ protein, 63 grams of​ carbohydrates, and 115 milligrams of vitamin A. The hospital food service tells the dietitian that the dinner for today is salmon​ steak, baked​ eggs, and acorn squash. Each serving of salmon steak has 40 grams of​ protein, 20 grams of​ carbohydrates, and 1 milligram of vitamin A. Each serving of baked eggs contains 20 grams of​ protein, 1 gram of​ carbohydrates, and 20 milligrams of vitamin A. Each serving of acorn squash contains 3 grams of​ protein, 20 grams of​ carbohydrates, and 27 milligrams of vitamin A. How many servings of each food should the dietitian provide for the​ patient? Question content area bottom Part 1 How many servings of each food should the dietitian​ provide? Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice. A. The dietitian should provide    enter your response here salmon steak​ (x),    enter your response here baked eggs​ (y), and    enter your response here acorn squash​ (z). ​(Simplify your​ answers.) B. There are an infinite number of combinations of servings of salmon steak​ (x), baked eggs​ (y), and acorn squash​ (z) that the dietitian can provide. Using ordered​ triplets, the solution can be written as​ {(x,y,z) | xequals    enter your response here​, yequals    enter your response here​, z is any real​ number}. ​(Simplify your answers. Type expressions using z as the variable as​ needed.) C. There are no combinations of servings of each food that the dietitian can provide.
