Geometric Meaning
Two lines could coincide (one equation just a multiple of the other
equation)
OR
x1 2x2 = 1
x1 + 2x2 = 3

x1 + 3x2 = 3
x1 2x2 = 1

Use the x in the first equation to get rid of the x in the other
2 equations. Then use the y in the second equation to eliminate
y in the remaining equation and so on until the solution stares
at you.

Good news is that these changes will NOT change the solution of
the system.
