Use Gauss-Jordan Elimination to Solve the Linear System and Determine $$\begin{aligned}4 x - y + 3 z & = 12 \\x + 4 y + 6 z & = - 32 \\5 x + 3 y + 9 z & = 20\end{aligned}$$

question 107

Multiple Choice

Use Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve the linear system and determine whether the system has a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has infinitely many solutions, describe the solution as an ordered
triple involving variable z.
- $$\begin{aligned}4 x - y + 3 z & = 12 \\x + 4 y + 6 z & = - 32 \\5 x + 3 y + 9 z & = 20\end{aligned}$$

• A)(8, -7, -2)
• B)(-8, -7, 9)
• C)no solution
• D)(2, -7, -1)
