System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations consists of multiple equations where each equation is linear in the unknown variables. The goal is to determine the values of these variables that simultaneously satisfy all the equations, and such systems can have a unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution at all.

Elimination Method

The elimination method involves adding or subtracting the equations in a system to cancel out one or more of the variables. This technique reduces the original system to a simpler one with fewer variables, making it easier to solve step by step until all variables are determined.

Substitution Method

The substitution method requires solving one of the equations for one variable in terms of the others and then substituting that expression into the remaining equations. This process simplifies the system by reducing the number of variables, leading to a step-by-step resolution of the system.

Gaussian Elimination

Gaussian elimination is a systematic method used to solve systems of linear equations by converting the system into an upper triangular matrix form through a series of row operations on the corresponding augmented matrix. Once in triangular form, back substitution is applied to find the values of the unknowns.
