question 62

Multiple Choice

Write the system of linear equations represented by the augmented matrix.(Use variables x, y, z, and w.) $\left[ \begin{array} { c c c c c } -1&0&0&3 & \vdots & 2 \\-7&4&0&0 & \vdots & 8 \\0&5&3&-5 & \vdots & - 8\\0&0&-1&-9& \vdots & 9\\\end{array} \right]$

• A) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• - x + 3 w & = 2 \\
• - 7 x + 4 y & = 8 \\
• 5 y + 3 z - 5 w & = - 8 \\
• - y - 9 z & = 9
• \end{array} \right.\)
• B) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• - x + 3 z & = 2 \\
• - 7 x + 4 z & = 8 \\
• 5 y + 3 z - 5 w & = - 8 \\
• - z - 9 w & = 9
• \end{array} \right.\)
• C) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• - x + 3 y & = & 2 \\
• - 7 x + 4 y & = & 8 \\
• 5 x + 3 y - 5 z & = - 8 \\
• - x - 9 y & = 9
• \end{array} \right.\)
• D) \(\left\{ \begin{aligned}
• - x + 3 w & = 2 \\
• - 7 x + 4 y & = 8 \\
• 5 y + 3 z - 5 w & = - 8 \\
• - z - 9 w & = 9
• \end{aligned} \right.\)
• E) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { r l r }
• - x + 3 z & = 2 \\
• - 7 x + 4 y & = 8 \\
