7. Systems of Equations & Matrices

Write the equations in standard form, then represent the system using an augmented matrix.

$3x+5y-9=0$

$8x=-4y+3$

Perform the indicated Row Operation.

SWAP $R_1\leftrightarrow R_2$

Perform the indicated Row Operation.

ADD $R_1+2\cdot R_3\rightarrow R_1$

Solve the system of equations by using row operations to write a matrix in REDUCED row-echelon form.

$4x+2y+3z=6$

$x+y+z=3$

$5x+y+2z=5$

Write the system of equations represented by the augmented matrix shown.

Perform each matrix row operation and write the new matrix.

$\begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 & 2 & \vert & 2 \\0 & 1 & -1 & \vert & 2 \\0 & 5 & 4 & \vert & 1\end{bmatrix}-5R_2 + R_3$

Solve each system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination.

$\{\begin{array}{c}x+2y+3z=-5\\ 2x+y+z=1\\ x+y-z=8\end{array}$

In Exercises 3–5, solve each system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination.

Solve each system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination.

$\{\begin{array}{c}3x_1+5x_2-8x_3+5x_4=-8\\ x_1+2x_2-3x_3+x_4=-7\\ 2x_1+3x_2-7x_3+3x_4=-11\\ 4x_1+8x_2-10x_3+7x_4=-10\end{array}$
