Matrix Row OperationsThe row-reduction method of solving a system allows you to determine whether the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent.

The row-reduction method of solving a system is performed on an augmented matrix.
An augmented matrix consists of the coefficients and constant terms in the system of equations.

Matrix Row OperationsThe goal of the row-reduction method is to transform, if possible, the coefficient columns into columns that form an identity matrix.

This is called the reduced row-echelon form of an augmented matrix if the matrix represents an independent system.
The resulting constants will represent the unique solution to the system.
Elementary Row Operations
The following operations produce equivalent matrices, and may be used in any order and as many times as necessary to obtain reduced row-echelon form.
-Interchange two rows
-Multiply all entries in one row by a nonzero number -Add a multiple of one row to another row
Row Operations and their Notations
-Interchange rows 1 and 2
-Multiply each entry in row 3 by -2
-Replace row 1 with the sum of row 1 and 4 times each entry in row 2
