Obtain an equivalent system by performing the stated elementary operation on the system.Multiply the third equation by 1/5.4x - y + 5z + w = -105x - z + 4w = 45x + 20y + 4z - w = 30   x + 3y - 8z = 1

A. 4x - y + 5z + w = -10
5x - z + 4w = 4
 x + 20+ 4z - w = 30 
 x + 3y - 8z = 1
B. 4x - y + 5z + w = -10
5x - z + 4w = 4
 x + 4y + z - w = 30 
  x + 3y - 8z = 1
C. 4x - y + 5z + w = -10
5x - z  + 4w = 4
 x + 4y + z - w = 6
  x + 3y - 8z = 1
D. 4x - y + 5z + w = -10
5x - z + 4w = 4
 x + 4y + z + w = 30 
 x + 3y - 8z = 1
