Start with the matrix augmented by the 4x4 identity matrix
on the RIGHT:



Then do row operations until you have the 4x4 identity matrix
on the LEFT, like this:

  

Then the answer is the 4x4 matrix on the right:

1	1	1	2	1
2	1	2	2	1
3	-2	-2	-3	0
4	0	1	2	3

Determinant is not zero, therefore inverse matrix exists
