Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{det}(A) = (x)(4) - (3)(2) = 4x - 6 = 0 \) \( 4x = 6 \Rightarrow x = 3/2 \) \( \text{det}(B) = (2)(3) - (3)(y) = 6 - 3y = 0 \) \( 3y = 6 \Rightarrow y = 2 \) \( \text{det}(C) = (z)(2) - (1)(8) = 2z - 8 = 0 \) \( 2z = 8 \Rightarrow z = 4 \) \( x = 1.5, y = 2, z = 4 \)…
