Formula

Row Reduce [A|b] to RREF using: R_i โ†” R_j, R_i โ†’ kR_i, R_i โ†’ R_i + kR_j

Gaussian elimination converts the augmented matrix [A|b] to row-echelon form (REF) or reduced row-echelon form (RREF) using elementary row operations. Back-substitution then gives the solution.

Worked Examples

Example 1: 2x2 system

Problem:2x + y = 5, 4x - 6y = -2

Solution:Augmented: [2,1,5;4,-6,-2]. RREF gives x=2, y=1

Result:x = 2, y = 1
