Answer

$$ x_1 \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 4 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix} + x_2 \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 6 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} + x_3 \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ -1 \\ -8 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} $$

Work Step by Step

The vector on the right hand side holds the constants from the right hand sides of each of the equations. The vectors multiplied by $x_1$, $x_2$, and $x_3$ hold the coefficients of each variable in the three equations.
