\begin{exerciseStatement}
Consider the augmented matrix
\[ \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}
4 & 1 & 7 & 6 \\
-5 & -4 & -6 & -2 \\
-1 & 1 & -3 & -4 \\
-3 & 0 & -6 & -6
\end{array}\right] \]
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item Write a system of scalar equations corresponding to this augmented matrix.
\item Write a vector equation corresponding to this augmented matrix.
\end{enumerate}
\end{exerciseStatement}
\begin{exerciseAnswer}
\begin{enumerate}[(a)]
\item \[\begin{matrix}
4 \, x_{1} & + & x_{2} & + & 7 \, x_{3} & = & 6 \\
-5 \, x_{1} & - & 4 \, x_{2} & - & 6 \, x_{3} & = & -2 \\
-x_{1} & + & x_{2} & - & 3 \, x_{3} & = & -4 \\
-3 \, x_{1} & & & - & 6 \, x_{3} & = & -6 \\
\end{matrix}\]
\item \[ x_{1} \left[\begin{array}{c}
4 \\
-5 \\
-1 \\
-3
\end{array}\right] + x_{2} \left[\begin{array}{c}
1 \\
-4 \\
1 \\
0
\end{array}\right] + x_{3} \left[\begin{array}{c}
7 \\
-6 \\
-3 \\
-6
\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}
6 \\
-2 \\
-4 \\
-6
\end{array}\right] \]
