  (x, y, z) = (-1, 3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The augmented matrix for the system is ...

Your graphing or scientific calculator can tell you the solution to this system is ...

  (x, y, z) = (-1, 3, 6)

__

If you want to solve this by hand, it can work well to divide the first equation by 4 to get ...

  x -y +z = 2

This can be subtracted from the other two equations to eliminate z.

  (9x +3y +z) -(x -y +z) = (6) -(2)  ⇒  8x +4y = 4

  (16x +4y +z) -(x -y +z) = (2) -(2)  ⇒  15x +5y = 0

These two equations can be reduced to standard form:

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we have ...

  (3x +y) -(2x +y) = (0) -(1)  ⇒  x = -1

Substituting into the first gives y:

  2(-1) +y = 1

  y = 3 . . . . . . . add 2

Then we can find z from the reduced first equation above:

  z = 2 -x +y = 2 -(-1) +3 = 6

Then the solution is (x, y, z) = (-1, 3, 6).

your answer is the last one

step-by-step explanation:

divide the length of a'c' by the length of ac to get a scale factor of two

& then reflect vertically (over the y-axis)

so your answer is dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection over the y-axis

the first option is the answer.
