ABSTRACT

In everyday life several solutions to problems are needed with mathematical equations. Most
are depicted in mathematical equations that have variables. And from these variables, it can
be seen how many minimum requirements must be met. for example, in the following case
that calculates how much sand the engineer must take when he needs sand 4800m3, fine
gravel 5800 m3, and 5700 m3 coarse gravel. And with the known pit data, it can be known
with the help of the gauss-jordan elimination so that x, y, z can be known. and it is obtained
much as 33 m3 sand volume, fine gravel 63.4651 m3 and coarse gravel 65.5581 m3 each pit.
Keywords: Gauss-jordan method, Linear Equation, Volume pit

I. INTRODUCTION Gauss-Jordan elimination method we

A numerical method is a technique in
which mathematical problems are
formulated so that they can be solved by
arithmetic operations. So, the numerical
method is a technique for formulating
mathematical problems so that it can be
solved by arithmetic operations consisting
of operations added, less, times and for.
Based on the above background the author
is interested in doing the completion
method, namely the method of Gauss
Jordan Elimination
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Linear Equation System
In mathematics, a system of linear
equations is a collection of linear
equations that have the same variables.
The general form of a system of linear
equations with n variables. In linear
algebra, Gauss-Jordan elimination is a
version of Gauss elimination. In the
create zero elements below or above the
main diagonal of a matrix. The result is a
reduced matrix in the form of a unit
diagonal matrix (all elements in the main
diagonal are 1, the other elements are
zero).
The Gauss-Jordan elimination method
is less efficient at completing an SPL but
is more efficient than Gauss elimination if
we want to resolve SPL with the same
coefficient matrix. The Method is named
after the Gauss-Jordan Elimination in
honor of Carl Friedrich Gauss and
Whilhelm Jordan.
2.2 Gauss-Jordan elimination
One method that can be used to solve
the system of linear equations is the
method of Gauss-Jordan elimination. This
method is named Gauss-Jordan in honor of
CarlFriedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Jordan.
This method is a modification of the Gauss
elimination method, which was described III. METODOLOGY
by Jordan in 1887.
This Gauss-Jordan method produces a
matrix with reduced echelon form
(reduced row echelon form), while Gauss
elimination only produces a matrix until
the echelon form line (row echelon form).
In addition to completing the system of
linear equations, this method of Gauss-
Jordan elimination can. Gauss Elimination
Method: a method developed from the
elimination method, which eliminates or
reduces the number of variables so that the
value of a variable that is free can be
obtained.
The Gauss-Jordan elimination is the
development of Gauss elimination which
results are even simpler. The trick is to
continue line operations from Gauss
elimination to produce an echelon-row
matrix. This can also be used as one
method of solving linear equations using a
matrix.
IV. RESULT AND DISSCUSION
This method is used to find the inverse
of a matrix. The general procedure for the A civil engineer involved in construction
Gauss-Jordan elimination method is to requires 4800, 5800, and 5700 m3 of sand,
change the system of linear equations that fine gravel, and coarse gravel,
want to be calculated as an augmentation respectively, for a building project. There
matrix. Perform elementary row are three pits from which these materials
operations in the augmentation matrix (A | can be obtained. The composition of these
b) to change the A matrix to be in the form pits is
of a reduced echelon line.
2.3 Strengths and Benefits:
Change the system of linear equations that
want to be calculated as an augmentation
matrix. is a variation of gauss elimination
with the need to be able to solve inverse
matrices.
The problem above is changed to the volume as sand 33 m3, fine gravel 63.4651
following equation: m3 and coarse gravel 65.5581 m3 each pit.

He was given the problem where https://www.mathplanet.com/education/al
the engineer wanted to make construction, gebra-1/how-to-solve-linear-equations
and he needed as many types of sand as the
problem. Meanwhile, know the pit data of http://www.mathwords.com/g/gauss-
each type of sand according to the table jordan_elimination.htm
above. and how much trouble he has to
take from each pit to his needs. https://math.tutorvista.com/algebra/gauss-
jordan-method.html
For this reason we use the equation
as above. by knowing the magnitude of x https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/line
y and z means that we know the size of the ar-equations.html
sand reserves in the pit 1 pit 2 pit 3. after
knowing how much the sand content is
after each pit, it can be seen how much
each pit must transport to meet its
construction needs.
By using the for function in matlab
it can be determined how many x, y, z
values are from each pit. And the gauss
elimination is used to find out the results
and then use the gauss-jordan method so
that the results of x, y, z are determined.
After that, get the x result for 33 m3
then y equal to 63.4651 m3 and z equal to
65.5581 m3. The results are used as a
reference for how much reserve is needed.
so, the engineer must take according to the
value of x, y, z because it fulfills the initial
sand requirement
V. CONCLUSION
From the demand for sand 4800 m3, fine
gravel 5800m3 then coarse gravel 5700m3
then the engineer must get as much
