1. Determine the values of the variables in the linear systems through forward

elimination, then check

6x1 - 6x2 – 6x3 = 6

2x1 + 4x2 - 6x3 =12

10x1 - 5x2 + 5x3 =30

Divide both sides

X1-X2-X3=1
X1+2X2-3X3=6

2X1-X2+X3=6

Consider the two pairs of equations

X1-X2-X3=1

2X1-X2+X3=6

X1-2X2-3X3=6

2X1-X2+X3=6

Solve the Systems

3X1-2X2=7

7X1-X2=24

Rewrite the expression

3X1-2X2=7

7X1-X2=24

Solve the system

23
X2=
11
41
X1=
11
Substitute the values X2, X1

41 23
- – X3=1
11 11
Solve the equation

7
X3=
11
A possible solution is….

( 41 23 7
( X 1 , X 2 , X 3 )= 11 , 11 , 11 )
2. Determine the value of x1, x2, x3 through forward elimination by replacement.

3x1 + x2 – 2x3 = -3

2x1 + 7x2 + 3x3 = 9

4x1 – 3x2 – x3 = 7
( X 1 , X 2 , X 3 )= ( 2 ,−1 , 4 )
