- Not all systems of linear equations will be in echelon form and easily solvable
- There are three **elementary operations** that can be used to create a new system that is equivalent to the old one
- Interchange the position of two equations
- Multiply an equation by a nonzero constant
- Add a multiple of one equation to another
- $\sim$ is used to indicate the transformation between equivalent linear systems
- matrices can be used to simplify when working with systems of linear equations
- matrices with all constant terms of a linear system of equations are called a **augmented matrix**
- $$\begin{gathered} \text{Linear System} \\ a_{11}x_{1} + a_{12}x_{2} + a_{13}x_{3} = b_{1} \\ a_{21}x_{1} + a_{22}x_{2} + a_{23}x_{3} = b_{2} \\ a_{31}x_{1} + a_{32}x_{2} + a_{33}x_{3} = b_{3} \end{gathered} \quad \sim \quad \begin{gathered} \text{Augmented Matrix} \\ \begin{bmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & b_{1} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & b_{2} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} & b_{3}
\end{bmatrix} \end{gathered}$$
- Same elementary operations can be used with augmented matrices, now it is with rows instead of equations.
- gaussian elimination
- this is converting a matrix to **echelon form** (or row echel)
