V3-03: Linear Programming. review of pivot

[@DJ-pn9te]

In step 1 Equation 1, was modified only to neutralize but did not change its original form, where as in step 2 it appears equation 2 was modified permanently, it is not clear why? was it to make the coefficient = to 1 in equation 2 of the second variable.

So helpful!!

is pivoting just another name for gauss jordan elimination ?

[@MrAkhilnaidu]

Gauss Jordan Elimination method uses this technique of pivoting in a format to achieve the solution for a system of linear equations. Think of Gauss Jordan Elimination as a set of rules through which we guide a computer to make things easier for its calculations. (rather than brute-forcing the computational power of PC, we are helping the PC to follow a set of rules)
