BBoth systems of equations have the same solution for $z = 4$, but the equations for $x$ and $y$ are different in each system, leading to different solutions for $x$ and $y$. To verify, we can substitute $z = 4$ into the equations:For the first system:1. $z = 4$2. Substituting $z$ into the second equation: $y + 3(4) = 18 \Rightarrow y = 6$3. Substituting $y$ and $z$ into the first equation: $x - 6 - 6(4) = -33 \Rightarrow x = -3$For the second system:1. $z = 4$2. Substituting $z$ into the second equation: $y - 9(4) = -30 \Rightarrow y = 6$3. Substituting $y$ and $z$ into the first equation: $x - 7(6) - 3(4) = -57 \Rightarrow x = -3$Upon solving, we find that both systems indeed yield the same solution: $x = -3$, $y = 6$, $z = 4$, which matches option A. However, initially, it might seem they could yield different solutions due to the different coefficients in front of $y$ and $z$ in the equations for $x$ and $y$. The correct interpretation is that despite the apparent differences in the systems, when solved, they yield the same solution set, hence both A and B are correct in the context of the question's structure.
