Left Multiplication by E<br />
Theorem<br />
If E is an elementary matrix obtained from Im by performing a<br />
certain elementary row operation and if A is an m × n matrix<br />
then EA is the matrix that results from performing the same<br />
elementary row operation on A.<br />
Example<br />
Let A =<br />
E2 =<br />
