Introduction to Systems of Linear Equations


• A system of linear equations consists of
two or more equations with the same set
of variables.
• The solution is the set of values for the
variables that satisfy all equations
s i m u l t a n e o u s l y.
• Applications include physics, economics,
and engineering

The method described above is a way of solving


these systems called the matrix method. Let me

matrix form and using matrices to solve for the
variables. This method is so much faster than
other methods especially when working with many

For larger systems, use matrices:

• Write the system as an augmented matrix: Ax=B


• Solve using Gaussian elimination or matrix inverses.

Summary
•We explored methods for solving systems of linear equations: Matrix
Method.
•Each method has its advantages depending on the complexity of the
system.
•For larger systems, matrix methods (Gaussian elimination or matrix
inverses) are most efficient.
