Consider the accompanying matrix as the augmented matrix of a linear system. State in words the next two elementary row operations that should be performed in the process of solving the system

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 3 -7 0 4

0 0 1 2 -2]

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The next step to solve the system, would be to divide the second row by 3 and we would be left with:  3 * R2

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 -7/3 0 4/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

Then what we will do is multiply row 3 by 7/3 and then subtract it from row 2, that is, R2 - 7/3 * R3, and it would look like this:

[1 -5 3 0 -2

0 1 0 14/3 -10/3

0 0 1 2 -2]

And these would be the next two steps in the process of solving the system.
