Why would you insist on this specific algorithm?

Simply use the appropriate Mathcad function. Guess internally its not programmed using Gauss.

Because this is posted in the "Math Homework Help" forum, and Ashley is hoping to find the homework already done? It's not a good way to learn, but it sure saves a lot of time
