A Review on Systems of Linear Equations
Matrices and Row Reduction of Linear Systems
In solving a system of linear equations, it is convenient to begin by
writing each equation in standard form so that like variables are
aligned in vertical columns. We then proceed to describe a
technique for solving linear systems.

A Review on Systems of Linear Equations
Matrices and Row Reduction of Linear Systems
To find solutions to a linear system, we often use the method of
elimination. That is, we eliminate some of the unknowns by
adding a multiple of one equation to another equation. Our goal
here is transform the system into a more simple one so that its
solution set can be easily determined. Each step in the
transformation process is accomplished by repeatedly applying one
of the following elementary operations:

Example 4
A manufacturer makes three different types of chemical products:
A, B, and C . Each product must go through two processing
machines: X and Y . The products require the following times in
machines X and Y :
1 One ton of A requires 2 hours in machine X and 2 hours in
machine Y .
2 One ton of B requires 3 hours in X and 2 hours in Y .
3 One ton of C requires 4 hours in X and 3 hours in Y .
Machine X is available 80 hours per week and machine Y is
available 60 hours per week. Since management does not want to
keep the expensive machines X and Y idle, it would like to know
how many tons of each product to make so that the machines are
fully utilized. It is assumed that the manufacturer can sell as much
of the product as it is made.

Remark
The general solution of the previous example can be written in
terms of a parameter, say r , s, or t. This parameter is any real
number assigned to a variable so that every other variable is
expressed in terms of this variable.

I. Properties of Matrix Addition
∀m × n matrices A, B, and C ,
1 A+B =B +A
2 (A + B) + C = A + (B + C )
3 ∃!m × n matrix O such that A + O = A
4 ∀A∃!(−A) such that A + (−A) = O

II. Properties of Matrix Multiplication
∀ matrices A, B, C of appropriate dimensions,
1 (AB)C = A(BC )
2 A(B + C ) = AB + AC and (B + C )A = BA + CA
3 For any n × n matrix A,
there exists an identity matrix In =
1 0 0 ... 0
0 1 0 ... 0
. such that In A = AIn = A. More

III. Properties of Scalar Multiplication
∀ matrices A, B of appropriate dimensions, and scalars r and s,
1 r (sA) = (rs)A
2 (r + s)A = rA + sA
3 r (A + B) = rA + rB
4 A(rB) = r (AB) = (rA)B
