As the subject says, how do i solve an augmented matrix step by step so i can follow each change in the matrix. The augmented matrix is two 3x3 matrixes put together with the operator (<A|B>]. I hope yoy understand my "Swedish English".

Solving Augmented Matrix step by step

An augmented matrix is a coefficient matrix that has an extra column containing the constant terms.  So if  your coefficient matrix is 3x3, then there will be an extra column "augmented" to the 3x3 coefficient matrix, making it look like a 3x4.  In textbooks, the constant terms are usually separated by a vertical line.

Step by step solvers are available under the Tools menu.  Go to Tools, Tutors, Linear Algebra and select Gaussian Elimination.  This will bring up a GUI that is self explanatory.
