2. Gauss-Jordan Matrix Elimination A method that can be used to solve systems of linear equations involving two or more variables. To do so, the system must be changed first, to an augmented matrix.
3. Augmented Matrix a1 x +b1 y +c1 z =d1
a2 x +b2 y +c2 z =d2
a3 x +b3 y +c3 z =d3

5. Elementary Row Operations Interchanging two rows.
Adding one row to another row, or multiplying one row by a constant first and then adding it to another.
Multiplying a row by any constant different from zero.
6. Gauss-Jordan Matrix Elimination Goal
In order to solve the system of equations, a series of steps needs to be followed using the elementary row operations. The reduced matrix should end up being the identity matrix.
