What is the purpose of elementary transformations in solving systems of linear equations?
Instructor solution
Elementary transformations are used to simplify the system of linear equations while preserving the solution set. These transformations involve operations such as swapping rows, multiplying rows by constants, and adding multiples of one row to another.
