Augmented Matrices
An
The first step in
solving a
system of linear
equations using matrices is to write the augmented matrix .
augmented matrix has a
vertical bar
separating the columns of the matrix into two
groups .
The coefficients of each variable are placed to the left of the
vertical line and the constants are placed to the right If
any variable is its coefficient is 0
