Question 1129736: can someone please correctly help explain how the gaussian elimination works as this is my first encounter of the concept:
Solve the system by Gaussian elimination. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION. If there are an infinite number of solutions, enter a general solution in terms of one of the variables.)
x + y + z= 14
2y + 3z= −14
−16y − 24z= −112

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Your matrix




Find the pivot in the 1st column in the 1st row




Make the pivot in the 2nd column by dividing the 2nd row by 2



Eliminate the 2nd column


Solution set: there is no+solution
The system is inconsistent.
