You can put this solution on YOUR website! perform the matrix row operations and write the new matrix |2 -4 1 | 4 |
 |-5 0 1 | -3 | -3R1+R2
 |-1 5 -2 | -1 |
 this means replace the present row no.2 with the existing row no.2 minus
 3 times the existing row no.1.rows 1 and 3 remain as they are now.
 so we get
 -5-3*2=-11 instead of -5
 0-3*(-4)=12 instead of 0
 1-3*1=-2 instead of 1
 -3-3*4=-15 instead of -3....to get
 |2,-4,1,    |4   |
 |-11,12,-2, |-15 |
 |-1,5,-2,   |-1  |
