Any row in a matrix, can be replaced by the sum of a constant times any other row plus row i. That is:



Actually, in more general terms, you can multiply both rows by constants if it makes sense to do so, thus:




1. Multiply Row 2 by 4: 12 32 4 0 4 0 | 40

2. Add the result of Step 1 to Row 3:

12 + (-4) = 8

32 + (-32) = 0

4 + 1 = 5

0 + 0 = 0

4 + 0 = 4

0 + 1 = 1

40 + 0 = 40

Hence: 8 0 5 0 0 4 1 | 40

3. Replace Row 3 with the results of Step 2.

Note: Just because you multiplied Row 2 by 4 in order to drive the 3rd Row 2nd Column element to zero, doesn't mean you have to replace Row 2 with the results of the multiplication.
