Elementary Row Operations

Elementary Row Operations are a set of operations that can be preformed on a matrix without changing the relationships of the system of equations stored within that matrix. Elementary Row Operations have a variety of uses including the Row Reduction method solving systems of equations.

The three operations that make up the set are as follows:

1. Interchange any two rows.
2. Multiply any row by a non-zero scalar.
3. Add any scalar multiple of one row to another.
