Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
System of equations given as
x₁ + 3x₂ + x₃ + x₄ = 3;
2x₁ - 2x₂ + x₃ + 2x₄ = 8;
x₁ - 5x₂ + x₄ = 5
Matrix form

Generally the echelon reduction is mathematically applied as

Add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row

Multiply the 2nd row by -1/8

Add -1 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row

Multiply the 3rd row by -8/41

Add -1/8 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row
Add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row

Add -3 times the 2nd row to the 1st row

Larger I think, sorry if that’s wrong.
The answer is A. I know this because you check the the hundredths place and it looks like 4 is less than 5 so it’s the first one
1 foot = 12 inches
3.5 feet = 12+12+12+6 inches = 42 inches
answer: 42 inches
