$\begin{bmatrix} 4 &2&3|12\\ 1&-1&1|2\\ 3&1&-1|2 \end{bmatrix} \approx\begin{bmatrix} 1&-1&1|2\\ 4 &2&3|12\\ 3&1&-1|2 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1&-1&1|2\\ 0 & 6& -1|4\\ 0&4&-4|-4 \end{bmatrix}\approx \begin{bmatrix} 1&-1&1|2\\ 0 &4& -4|-4\\ 0& 6&-1|4 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1&-1&1|2\\ 0 &1& -1|-1\\ 0& 6&-1|4 \end{bmatrix}\approx \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0& 0|1\\ 0 &1& -1|-1\\ 0& 0 & 5| 10 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0& 0|1\\ 0 &1& -1|-1\\ 0& 0 & 1| 2 \end{bmatrix}\approx \begin{bmatrix} 1& 0& 0|1\\ 0 &1& 0|1\\ 0& 0 & 1| 2 \end{bmatrix}$ $1.P_{12}\\ 2.A_{12}(-4),A_{13}(-3)\\ 3.P_{23}\\ 4.M_2(\frac{1}{4})\\ 5.A_{21}(1),A_{23}(-6)\\ 6.M_2(\frac{1}{5})\\ 7.A_{32}(1)$ By taking real solutions, we have $x^3_1=1\\ x_2^2=1\\ x_3=2$ Hence, $x_1=1\\ x_2=\pm 1\\ x_3=2$ The original system of equations has two solutions: $(1,1,2)$ and $(1,-1,2)$ We can see that there is no contradiction of Theorem 2.5.9, this system is not linear in $x_1,x_2$ and $x_3$
