5. In previous lessons, you saw how Cramer’s rule and inverses can be used to solve systems of equations. Solving large systems requires a different method using an augmented matrix. An augmented matrix consists of the coefficients and constant terms of a system of linear equations. A vertical line separates the coefficients from the constants.

10. You can use the augmented matrix of a system to solve the system. First you will do a row operation to change the form of the matrix. These row operations create a matrix equivalent to the original matrix. So the new matrix represents a system equivalent to the original system. For each matrix, the following row operations produce a matrix of an equivalent system.

12. Row reduction is the process of performing elementary row operations on an augmented matrix to solve a system. The goal is to get the coefficients to reduce to the identity matrix on the left side. This is called reduced row-echelon form. 1x = 5 1y = 2

26. Example 3: Charity Application A shelter receives a shipment of items worth $1040. Bags of cat food are valued at $5 each, flea collars at $6 each, and catnip toys at $2 each. There are 4 times as many bags of food as collars. The number of collars and toys together equals 100. Write the augmented matrix and solve, using row reduction, on a calculator. How many of each item are in the shipment?

27. Example 3 Continued Use the facts to write three equations. c = flea collars 5f + 6c + 2t = 1040 f – 4c = 0 f = bags of cat food c + t = 100 t = catnip toys Enter the 3  4 augmented matrix as A.
