Identify the coefficient matrix A from the system of equations: A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 & 1 \\ -1 & 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix}.
Identify the variable matrix X: X = \begin{bmatrix} w \\ x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix}.
Identify the constant matrix B: B = \begin{bmatrix} -3 \\ 4 \\ 2 \\ -4 \end{bmatrix}.
Write the matrix equation in the form AX = B.
Use the given inverse of matrix A to solve for X by calculating X = A^{-1}B.
