   - change the order of the rows of the matrix;
   - multiply one of the rows of the matrix by a non-zero real number;
-  - replace row $j$ by "row $j$ ${}+{}$ $c\times {}$ (row $i$)", where $c$ is a non-zero real number.
+  - replace row $j$ by "row $j$ ${}+{}$ $c\times {}$ (row $i$)", where $c$ is a non-zero real number and $i\ne j$.
 The system of linear equations corresponding to these matrices will then have exactly the same solutions.
-We call these operations **elementary row operations** on the matrix.
+We call these operations **elementary row operations** or **EROs** on the matrix.
