This document discusses using matrices to represent and solve systems of equations. A matrix is defined as a rectangular array of numbers. Systems of equations can be represented as matrices, with each row representing an equation and each column representing coefficients of a variable. Row operations, such as switching rows, multiplying rows by constants, and adding/subtracting rows, can be used to put the matrix in reduced row echelon form and solve the system. Examples are provided of representing systems as matrices and using matrices and row operations to solve 2-variable and 3-variable systems of equations. Students are assigned practice problems from the worksheet.
