#8x+5y=3000#

Explanation:

Let #x# be the number of bushels of corn and #y# be the number of bushels of wheat.

We know that corn is $8 per bushel, so the total earned from corn is #8x#. Wheat is $5 per bushel, so the total earned from wheat is #5x#.

Overall the total earned is #8x+5y# and that the total earned was $3000, so the equation is #8x+5y=3000#
