Multiple Choice

Use Matrices and Gaussian Elimination to Solve Systems
Solve the system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution.
- $$\begin{aligned}x + y + z - w & = 6 \\2 x - y + 3 z + 4 w & = - 4 \\4 x + 2 y - z - w & = - 13 \\- x - 2 y + 4 z + 3 w = & 12\end{aligned}$$
