The order in which any two equations are written may be interchanged System 1: System 2: (x1,x2,x3) is a solution to System 1 if any only if it is a solution to to System 2.
Both sides of an equation may be multiplied by the same non zero real number. System 1: System 2: (x1,x2,x3) is a solution to System 1 if any only if it is a solution to to System 2.
A multiple of one equation may be added to (or subtracted from) another. System 1: System 2: *Multiply Equation 2 by 2 and add it to Equation 1 (x1,x2,x3) is a solution to System 1 if any only if it is a solution to to System 2.
The following three operations may be used on a system to obtain an equivalent system: • The order in which any two equations are written may be interchanged. • Both sides of an equation may be multiplied by the same non-zero number • A multiple of one equation may be added to (or subtracted from) an other equation
Elementary Row Operations: • Interchange two rows • Multiply a row by a non-zero real number • Replace a row by its sum with a multiple of an other row
