To solve systems with three variables, we again apply elementary operations
to successively eliminate variables (4/ 5)

To exploit the fact, that we manipulate the coefficients of the variables only,
we introduce the augmented matrix (1/ 2)

Instead of the system of equations we now work with its augmented matrix
and reduce this until a triangular form is reached (3/ 4)

Elementary operations:
row i
Type 1: Swap the positions of two equations/ rows in the augmented
matrix
Type 2: Multiply an equation/ row by a nonzero number/ scalar.
ai,j Type 3: Add to one equation/ row a scalar multiple of another equation/
row.
column j Note: Elementary operations leave the solution set invariant, i.e. when
= number of the unknown applied do not change the solution.
