question 10

Multiple Choice

Write the system of linear equations represented by the augmented matrix. (Use variables x, y, z, and w.) $\left[ \begin{array} { c c c c : c } - 4 & 0 & 0 & - 9 & 8 \\- 4 & - 3 & 0 & 0 & 4 \\0 & - 6 & 9 & 8 & - 6 \\0 & 0 & 6 & - 1 & 9\end{array} \right]$

• A) \(\left\{ \begin{array} { l l }
• - 4 x - 9 y & = 8 \\
• - 4 x - 3 y & = 4 \\
• - 6 x + 9 y + 8 z & = - 6 \\
• 6 x - y & = 9
• \end{array} \right.\)
• B) \(\left\{ \begin{aligned}
• - 4 x - 9 z & = 8 \\
• - 4 x - 3 y & = 4 \\
• - 6 y + 9 z + 8 w & = - 6 \\
• 6 z - w & = 9
• \end{aligned} \right.\)
• C) \(\begin{array} { l }
• \left\{ \begin{array} { r l l }
• &- 4 x - 9 z & = 8 \\
• &- 4 x - 3 z & = 4 \\

• &6 z - w &= 9 \\
• \end{array} \right. \\
• \end{array}\)
• D) \(\left\{ \begin{aligned}
• - 4 x - 9 w & = 8 \\
• - 4 x - 3 y & = 4 \\
• - 6 y + 9 z + 8 w & = - 6 \\
• 6 y - z & = 9
• \end{aligned} \right.\)
• E) \(\left\{ \begin{aligned}
• - 4 x - 9 w & = 8 \\
