question 77

Multiple Choice

Write the system of linear equations represented by the augmented matrix.(Use variables x, y, z, and w.) $\left[ \begin{array} { r r r r r } 1&0&0&4 & \vdots&-5 \\3&-7&0&0 & \vdots & 3 \\0&-4&8&-1& \vdots &-6\\0&0&3&7 & \vdots &7\\\end{array} \right]$

• A) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• x + 4 y & = & - 5 \\
• 3 x - 7 y & = & 3 \\
• - 4 x + 8 y - z & = & - 6 \\
• 3 x + 7 y & = & 7
• \end{array} \right.\)
• B) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• x + 4 z & = - 5 \\
• 3 x - 7 y & = 3 \\
• - 4 y + 8 z - w & = - 6 \\
• 3 z z + 7 w & = 7
• \end{array} \right.\)
• C) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• x + 4 z & = - 5 \\
• 3 x - 7 z & = 3 \\
• - 4 y + 8 z - w & = - 6 \\
• 3 z z + 7 w & = 7
• \end{array} \right.\)
• D) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• x - 4 w & = - 5 \\
• 3 x - 7 y & = 3 \\
• - 4 y + 8 z - w & = - 6 \\
• 3 y + 7 z & = 7
• \end{array} \right.\)
• E) \(\left\{ \begin{aligned}
• x + 4 w & = - 5 \\
• 3 x - 7 y & = 3 \\
