Gauss Reduction

The document presents the steps to solve a system of 3 linear equations with 3 unknowns (x1, x2, x3) using Gaussian elimination. The key steps are: 1) interchanging rows to put the matrix in triangular form, 2) choosing diagonal elements as pivots to eliminate other elements in each column, and 3) back substitution to obtain the solutions x1=4, x2=1, x3=2.
