If we start with this matrix 2 0 -6 -8 <--- divide this row by 2 to simplify it 0 1 2 3 3 6 -2 -4 1 0 -3 -4 <--- multiply this row by -3 and add to the 3rd row 0 1 2 3 3 6 -2 -4 1 0 -3 -4 0 1 2 3 0 6 7 8 <--- we added -3 0 9 12 to the 3rd row 1 0 -3 -4 0 1 2 3<---multiply by -6 and add to the 3rd row 0 0 -5 -10 1 0 -3 -4 0 1 2 3 0 0 1 2 <---divided by -5 now back solve
