18.
Use Gauss elimination method with scaled partial pivoting to solve the following linear
system of equations

4.01x1 + 10.2x3 ? 1.12x3 = ? 3.09,
1.09x1 + 0.987x2 + 0.832x3 = 4.21.
NOTE : Disclosure of identity by writing mobile number or making passing request on any
page of Answer sheet will lead to UMC case against the Student.
