This problem outlines a proof that two linear systems LSand LS2 are equivalent (that is, have the same solution set) if their augmented coefficient matrices A1 and A2 are row equivalent.
(a) If a single elementary row operation transforms A1 to A2, show directly—considering separately the three cases—that every solution of LS1 is also a solution of LS2.

(b) Explain why it now follows from Problem 29 that every solution of either system is also a solution of the other system; thus the two systems have the same solution set.
