Need some help with these final two problems? Please?

What linear system of equations does the matrix represent?

I don't think any of those is correct. \[ \begin{cases}4x-7y=-12\\-14x+4y=4\end{cases} \]

Oh sorry, since some of them look alike I guess I posted them twice...but the one you typed is an option....THANK YOU! Last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\begin{cases}2x+5y=-4\\4x-5y=22\end{cases}\] Multiply the first equation so that the coefficients of x are the same, i.e. by 2. \[\begin{cases}4x+10y=-8\\4x-5y=22\end{cases}\] Subtract the second equation from the first \[(4x+10y)-(4x-5y)=(-8)-(22) \\ 15y = -30 \\ y = -2\] We have now extracted enough information to answer.

So it would be A?

Thank You
