    The Gaussian elimination method is used to solve systems of linear equations by transforming the augmented matrix into upper triangular form using elementary row operations. It works by eliminating variables below the diagonal of the upper triangular matrix using subtraction of rows. The document then provides an example of using Gaussian elimination to solve the system of equations y+z=2, 2x+3z=5, x+y+z=3, arriving at the solution (x,y,z)=(1,1,1) through back substitution. Finally, an exercise is given to solve another system of linear equations using Gaussian elimination.

    Gauss Elimination Method

    DEFINITION (Forward/Gauss Elimination Method)

    Gaussian elimination is a method of solving a linear system Ax=b consisting of m equations and n
    unknowns by bringing the augmented matrix

    to an upper triangular form


    The following examples illustrate the Gauss elimination procedure.

    • EXAMPLE Solve the linear system by Gauss elimination method.


    • y+z = 2
    • 2x +3z =5
    • x+y+z = 3

    Solution: In this case, the augmented matrix is

    Interchange 1st row and 2nd equations (row)

    Divide the Ist equation by 2


    Continued…..
    R3-→R3-R2
    R3→(-2/3)R3
    Using Back substitution method we have equation form
    Last equation gives
    z=1
    Put z=1 in last second equation y+z=2 we have
    y=1
    Now put y and z in first equation x+3/2z=5/2, we have
    x= 1

    Hence solution of the system is (x,y,z)=(1,1,1)

    • Solve the following system of linear equation by Gauss Elimination
