Abstract
We shall now consider in detail a systematic method of solving systems of linear equations. In working with such systems, there are three basic operations involved, namely
-
(1)
interchanging two equations (usually for convenience);
-
(2)
multiplying an equation by a non-zero scalar;
-
(3)
forming a new equation by adding one equation to another.
