Write a system of linear equations that represents the situation.

• A) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• 2.5 r - 8 l - 4 i & = 300 \\
• - r - 2 l - 2 i & = 0 \\
• r - l - i & = 120
• \end{array} \right.\)
• B) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• 2.5 r + 8 l + 4 i & = 300 \\
• r + 2 l + 2 i & = 0 \\
• r + l + i & = 120
• \end{array} \right.\)
• C) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• 2.5 r + 8 l + 4 i & = 300 \\
• - r + 2 l + 2 i & = 0 \\
• r + l + i & = 120
• \end{array} \right.\)
• D) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• 2.5 r - 8 l + 4 i & = 300 \\
• - r + 2 l + 2 i & = 0 \\
• r + l + i & = 120
• \end{array} \right.\)
• E) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• 2.5 r + 8 l - 4 i & = 300 \\
• - r + 2 l + 2 i & = 0 \\
• r + l + i & = 120
• \end{array} \right.\)
