- The systems in Exercises 25 and 26 exhibit a lower triangular pattern that makes them easy to solve by forward substitution. (We will encounter forward substitution again in Chapter 3.) Solve these systems. x=22x+y=33x4y+z=10arrow_forwardWhat operations can be performed on a linear system to arrive at an equivalent system?arrow_forward
