If the n n matrix A can be expressed as A = LU, where L is a lower triangular matrix and U is an upper triangular matrix, then the linear system Ax = b can be expressed as LUx = b and can be solved in two steps: Step 1. Let Ux = y, so that LUx = b can be expressed as Ly = b. Solve this system. Step 2. Solve the system Ux = y for x. In each part, use this two-step method to solve the given system.
