Answer

The system represented by the augmented matrix is $\left\{\begin{array}{llll} x & -3y & +3z & =-5\\ -4x & -5y & -3z & =-5\\ -3x & -2y & +4z & =6 \end{array}\right.$ Performing the row operations, $\rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} {1}&{-3}&{3}&{-5}\\ {0}&{-17}&{9}&{-25}\\ {0}&{-11}&{13}&{-9}\end{array}\right]$
