Step 1 :Write the system of equations in matrix form as A*X = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix. The matrix form of the given system is: \[A = \begin{bmatrix} 0.1 & 0.4 & -0.8 \\ 0.6 & 0.4 & 0.2 \\ -0.4 & -0.6 & 0.2 \end{bmatrix}, X = \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix}, B = \begin{bmatrix} 8 \\ 3 \\ -4 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 2 :Find the inverse of the coefficient matrix A. The inverse of A is: \[A_{inv} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 4 & 4 \\ -2 & -3 & -5 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 3 :Multiply both sides of the equation by the inverse of A to find the solution matrix X. The product of the inverse of the coefficient matrix and the constant matrix is: \[X = A_{inv} * B = \begin{bmatrix} 12 \\ -5 \\ -11 \end{bmatrix}\]
Step 4 :So, the solution of the system is: \[x=\boxed{12}, y=\boxed{-5}, z=\boxed{-11}\]
