Answer

$$ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -3 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 5 & -5 & 0 \\ 3 & 0 & 4 & 7 \\ \end{array} \right] $$

Work Step by Step

The row operation $\frac{1}{2}R_1$ means we have to multiply the entire first row of the augmented matrix by $\frac{1}{2}$. The matrix becomes$$ \left[ \begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & -3 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 5 & -5 & 0 \\ 3 & 0 & 4 & 7 \\ \end{array} \right] $$.
