First create the coefficient matrix, which is just a matrix of the coefficients on the variables.

%28matrix%282%2C2%2C3%2C2%2C1%2C-3%29%29

Then add a new column consisting of the constant terms

%28matrix%282%2C3%2C3%2C2%2C7%2C1%2C-3%2C17%29%29, Done.

Generally, the symbols are large square brackets around the outside of the matrix and a vertical line separating the new column from the original coefficent entries, but this formula rendering scheme doesn't allow me to show it that way.
