Answer

$[A|B]=\left[\begin{array}{rr|r} {9}&{-1}&{0}\\ {3}&{-1}&{4}\end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

Augmented matrix $[A|B]$ of a system written in standard form: - has as many rows as there are equations, - has one more column than there are variables, - has the constants of the RHS in the last column, $B=[b_{i}]$ - has the entries of the coefficient matrix $A=[a_{ij}]$ to the left of the last column. --- Rewrite the system in standard form $\left\{\begin{array}{l} 9x-y=0\\ 3x-y=4 \end{array}\right.$ $ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 9 & -1\\ 3 & -1 \end{array}\right],\quad B=\left[\begin{array}{l} 0\\ 4 \end{array}\right]$ $[A|B]=\left[\begin{array}{rr|r} {9}&{-1}&{0}\\ {3}&{-1}&{4}\end{array}\right]$
