Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here, I found the website looking for help. For my finite math homework one of the questions ask to solve a system through the Gauss-Jordan Elimination; here's what I have so far.
3x + y -2z = 2
x - 2y +z = 3
2x - y -3z = 3
So when I put it in the matrix I get this:
[ 3 1 -2 2 ]
[ 1 -2 1 3 ]
[ 2 -1 -3 3 ]
My problem is that I have not really mastered the Gauss-Jordan elimination. So I don't know the exact rules as to how I can proceed with this. I don't know if there are any limitations as to how much I can multiply, substract, add rows to get to:
[ 1 0 0 ? ]
[ 0 1 0 ? ]
[ 0 0 1 ? ]
Thank you,
