Given equations are,
\
.
.
Write the augmented matrix,
\Place the coefficients of the equations and the constant terms in to matrix.
\
Notice that the first element in the second row is 1.interchanging the rows so 1 can be in the upper left - hand corner.
\
\
To make the first element in the second (
) row a 0, multiply the first (
) row by 3 and subtract the result from row 2 (
).
(The result is placed in row 2)
To make the second element in the second (
) row a 1, multiply the second (
) row by
(The result is placed in row 2)
To make the second element in the first (
) row a 0,multiply the second (
) row by 2 and subtracted the rows together.
(The result is placed in row 1)
The first row will give you the solution for
.
The second row will give you the solution for
.
The solution is
.
