Help with 7x7 gauss jordan elimination program

Click For Summary
To solve a 7x7 system using Gauss-Jordan elimination, start by converting the equations into an augmented matrix with coefficients on one side and constants on the other. The next step involves performing row-reduction to simplify the matrix. The discussion highlights the importance of showing work to receive effective help, as understanding where one is stuck is crucial for guidance. Various methods available online can be utilized, but clarity in the approach is essential. Seeking assistance and practicing the row-reduction process will enhance understanding and confidence in solving such systems.

Homework Statement



Hi, I am new to gauss jordan elimination and our teacher onlt taught us how to solve a 3x3 equation and gave us a 7x7 problem to answer due tom.

2m + 3n - p + q + 2r - s + 2t = 1
m - n + p - q + r + s + t = 2
2m + 2n - 2p + q - 2r + s - t = 1
m - 2p + q - r - s + t = 1
m - 2n + p - q + r + s + t = 2
m + 2n + 2p + 2q + r - s + 2t = 1
m - n - 2p - q - r + s + t = 2

Homework Equations



2m + 3n - p + q + 2r - s + 2t = 1
m - n + p - q + r + s + t = 2
2m + 2n - 2p + q - 2r + s - t = 1
m - 2p + q - r - s + t = 1
m - 2n + p - q + r + s + t = 2
m + 2n + 2p + 2q + r - s + 2t = 1
m - n - 2p - q - r + s + t = 2

The Attempt at a Solution



i tried solving it thrice . . . using different methods i saw on the internet, but I am scared i don't want to fail. I really need help pls help me out dudes.

tahnks!

First thing you should do is to write out the equations in the form of a matrix:

The entries of the matrix should consist only of the co-efficients of the unknowns. Then just juxtapose the numbers on the RHS of the system of equations to form an augmented matrix. Then perform row-reduction. Where are you stuck? It's hard to help if you don't show any work.
