    Formally Proving the Invariance of Solutions in Gaussian Elimination

    I've been doing Gaussian Elimination in a Linear Algebra class, but I have a question: How do I formally prove that elementary row operations do not change the set of solutions to a system of linear equations? Thanks.

    Solve System of Equations: Gaussian Elimination

    Solve the following system of equations using Gaussian elimination: 3w+10x-2y+3z=55 w+12x-11y-z= 69 -3w-6x-5y-10z=-47 -3w+9x+5y+4z=-1 Here's what I did so far: swap R1 and R2 (row 1 and row 2) -3R1+R2 (multiply row 1 by -3 and add row 2 to that product) 3R1+R3 3R1+R4 Now, after...

    Solving Matrix with Gaussian Elimination: Find Solutions

    I used Gaussian elimination on a matrix to find the soultions. I know that there is either no solutions or infinatley many, but the matrix is confusing me. The only definition I have of when a matrix has infinatley many solutions is when a zero row is equal to zero, and no solutions when a zero...

    Solving Gaussian Elimination Problem: 3x - y + z = 1

    Question: solve by using gaussian elimination: 3x - y + z = 1 2x + 2y – 5z = 0 5x + y – 4z = 7 what i did: step 1: new row 1 = old row 1 – row 2, I got: x – 3y + 6z = 1 2x + 2y – 5z = 0 5x + y – 4z = 7 step 2: new row 2 = old row 2 – (2 * row1) and new row 3 = old row 3 –...

    Identifying Inconsistent Systems of Linear Equations with Gaussian Elimination

    Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. Due to that I can't find much of a connection (due to lack of inconsistent set of linear equations), and the fact that I'm unable to explain it properly, can someone please help me? Here's the question: If a system of linear equations is...

    Solving Gaussian Elimination Algorithm Problems (Matrices)

    I tried to solve this Gaussian elimination algorithm problem (matrices) but for some reason when I plug in the x variables it doesn't work. The problem is: Alright so the first thing I did was divide the 1st row by 1/3 (scaling). Then I made the entries below the first pivot equal to 0...

    How does the elimination method work for solving simultaneous equations?

    I need a math guru to explain why and how the elimination method of solving simultaneous equations works ? why do we add or subtract the two equations ?(I undertand in order to eradicate either term) but I need to know from the basics . For that matter, how/why does the substitution method...
