Question

prove that the elimentary transformation do not alter the rank of matrices
​

Answer 1

Answer:

one considers certain operation called elementary row operation that are applied to matrix b of the same size

Answer 2

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\bf{\purple{answer}}}}}$

Elementary row (resp. column) operations can be simulated as left (resp. right) multiplication by the elementary matrices. Since the elementary matrices are invertible, such multiplication does not change the rank of a matrix.
