kacang parang is RM9. The profit of 1 kg of kacang putih and 1 kg of kacang parang
is RM3. The profit of 1 kg of kacang putih and 3 kg of kacang parang is equal to the
profit from 1 kg of kacang kuda. If x, y and z represent the profit from 1 kg of kacang
kuda, 1 kg of kacang putih and 1 kg of kacang parang respectively, write a matrix
equation to represent the above information. Hence, determine the profit from1 kg of
