Your Input

Perform the Gauss-Jordan elimination on [521137]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5 & -2 & 1\\1 & 3 & 7\end{array}\right].

Solution

Subtract row 11 multiplied by 15\frac{1}{5} from row 22: R2=R2R15R_{2} = R_{2} - \frac{R_{1}}{5}.

[5210175345]\left[\begin{array}{cc|c}5 & -2 & 1\\0 & \frac{17}{5} & \frac{34}{5}\end{array}\right]

Answer

The reduced matrix is [5210175345]=[52103.46.8].\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5 & -2 & 1\\0 & \frac{17}{5} & \frac{34}{5}\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}5 & -2 & 1\\0 & 3.4 & 6.8\end{array}\right].A
