The symbol ≅ (" is equivalent to") indicates that what follows is equivalent to
the previous matrix with some row (or column) operations involved.
The resulting matrix is upper-triangular, and equivalent to the set of equations
which can now be solved, one equation at a time, by backward substitution,
as in the previous example.
Gauss-Jordan elimination using matrices
Gauss-Jordan elimination consists in continuing the row operations in the
upper-triangular matrix resulting from the forward elimination process until an
identity matrix results in place of the original A matrix. For example, for the
case we just presented, we can continue the row operations as follows:
Multiply row 3 by –1/7: 7\Y 3 @RCI!
Multiply row 3 by –1, add it to row 2, replacing it: 1\ # 3
#2 @RCIJ!
