1. The Gauss Elimination Method is used to eliminate or remove variables from a system of linear equations to solve for the unknowns.
2. Start with a system of three linear equations in three variables:
$a_1x + b_1y + c_1z = d_1$
$a_2x + b_2y + c_2z = d_2$
$a_3x + b_3y + c_3z = d_3$
3. The goal is to eliminate variables step-by-step. First, eliminate $x$ from the second and third equations using the first equation.
4. Then eliminate $y$ from the third equation using the second equation, resulting in a system where the equations are in upper triangular form.
5. Use back substitution to solve for the variables starting from the last equation (solve for $z$), then substitute back to find $y$ and $x$.
6. Alternatively, form the augmented matrix $[A|B]$ from the coefficients and constants of the system.
7. Apply row operations to transform matrix $A$ into an upper triangular matrix, where all entries below the main diagonal are zero.
8. Once the matrix is in upper triangular form, use back substitution to find the solution for $x$, $y$, and $z$.
9. The solution is obtained from the augmented matrix after performing Gauss Elimination.
