Answer:

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

A basic variable is a variable that corresponds to a pivot column. A variable that does not corresponds to a pivot column is known as a free variable. It is required to row reduce the augmented matrix into echelon form so as to determine which of the variables are free and which of them are basic.
