add down (-2/1) *row 1 to row 2
1,0,-6,7
0,-1,14,-14
1,0,2,-1


add down (-1/1) *row 1 to row 3
1,0,-6,7
0,-1,14,-14
0,0,8,-8


divide row 2 by -1/1
1,0,-6,7
0,1,-14,14
0,0,8,-8


add down (0/1) *row 2 to row 3
1,0,-6,7
0,1,-14,14
0,0,8,-8


divide row 3 by 8/1
1,0,-6,7
0,1,-14,14
0,0,1,-1


add up (14/1) *row 3 to row 2
1,0,-6,7
0,1,0,0
0,0,1,-1


add up (6/1) *row 3 to row 1
1,0,0,1
0,1,0,0
0,0,1,-1


add up (0/1) *row 2 to row 1
1,0,0,1
0,1,0,0
0,0,1,-1

final
1,0,0,1
0,1,0,0
0,0,1,-1
