Gauss Elimination Method with
Example 1
Solve the system of linear equations using matrices

First, we write the augmented matrix

Next, we perform row operations to obtain
row-echelon form

The easiest way to obtain a 1 in row 2 of column 1 is to interchange R2 and

R3
Then,

The last matrix represent the equivalent system

Using back-substitution, we obtain the solution as (4, -3, 1).
