Write the system of linear equations given below as an augmented matrix and use the Gauss-Jordan elimination process to reduce the matrix and solve the system. For each row operation that you perform, make sure to clearly indicate what it is either by correctly writing it in proper notation, or by describing it with a sentence, or by showing the ”behind the scenes” works. Note: This Problem is not testing if you can solve a system of liner equations, it is testing if you can solve a system of linear equations using the method of elimination. As such, magically coming up with the solution or using another method to get the solution will get you no credit. 5x + 15y + 25z = 180 3x + 13y + 15z = 1204x + 12y + 27z = 179

Problem 4:

Write the system of linear equations given below as an augmented matrix
and use the Gauss-Jordan elimination process to reduce the matrix and solve the system. For each row operation that you perform, make sure to clearly indicate what it is
either by correctly writing it in proper notation, or by describing it with a sentence,
or by showing the ”behind the scenes” works.

Note: This Problem is not testing if you can solve a system of liner equations,
it is testing if you can solve a system of linear equations using the method of elimination. As such, magically coming up with the solution or using another method to get the solution will get you no credit.

5x + 15y + 25z = 180 3x + 13y + 15z = 1204x + 12y + 27z = 179
