Answer:
- A. there is one solution: (x, y, z) = (-4, 6, 2)
- (-2, -1, 2) is the solution to the system
Explanation:
You want to know the solutions to the systems of equations ...
- x +y +z = 4
- 2x +5y +2z = 26
- -x +9y -3z = 52
and
- x +y +z = -1
- x -2y -z = -2
- 3x +3y -z = -11
Solutions
The solution to a set of linear equations is conveniently found by a calculator capable of reducing the augmented coefficient matrix to reduced row-echelon form. The variable values comprising the solution are found in the last column of the reduced matrix.
First system
The one solution is shown to be (x, y, z) = (-4, 6, 2).
Second system
The one solution is shown to be (x, y, z) = (-2, -1, 2). That is, the offered triple is a solution.

Additional comment
There are other ways to solve these systems of equations: ad hoc methods, Cramer's Rule, graphing. It seems to make sense to use the calculator's ability to find the solution if you're going to use a calculator anyway.
The systems of equations can be reduced to a set of 2 equations in 2 variables by using substitution for one of the variables. The first equation can be used to write an expression for z, for example.
