Work Step by Step

$\begin{bmatrix} -1 & -2 & 3|0\\-1& 1 & 1 |0 \\-1 & -2& -1|1 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3|0\\-1& 1 & 1 |0 \\-1 & -2& -1|1 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3|0\\0& 3 & -2|0 \\0 & 0& -4|1 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3|0\\0& 1& -\frac{2}{3}|0 \\0 & 0& 1| -\frac{1}{4} \end{bmatrix} $ $1.M_1(-1)\\ 2.A_{12}(1),A_{13}(1)\\ 3.M_3(\frac{-1}{4}), M_2(\frac{1}{3})$ From the third row, $x_3=-\frac{1}{4}\\ x_2-\frac{2}{3}x_3=0 \rightarrow x_2=-\frac{1}{6}\\ x_1+2x_2-3x_3=0 \rightarrow x_1=-\frac{5}{12}$ Thus, $A^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{5}{12}\\ -\frac{1}{6}\\ -\frac{1}{4} \end{bmatrix}$
