The beginning matrix is
1 1 1 2
2 -3 1 -11
-1 2 -1 8
add 1 times the 1st row to the 3rd row
1 1 1 2
2 -3 1 -11
0 3 0 10
add -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd row
1 1 1 2
2 -5 -1 -15
0 3 0 10
add 3/5 times the 2nd row to the 3rd row
1 1 1 2
0 -5 -1 -15
0 0 -3/5 1
multiply the 3rd row by -5/3
1 1 1 2
0 -5 -1 -15
0 0 1 -5/3
add -1 times the 3rd row to the 1st row
1 1 0 11/3
0 -5 -1 -15
0 0 1 -5/3
add -1 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row
1 1 0 11/3
0 -5 0 -50/3
0 0 1 -5/3
multiply the 2nd row by -1/5
1 1 0 11/3
0 -5 0 -50/3
0 0 1 -5/3
add 1 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row
1 1 0 11/3
0 1 0 10/3
0 0 1 -5/3
add -1 times the 2nd row to the 1st row
1 0 0 1/3
0 1 0 10/3
0 0 1 -5/3
