Answer

$\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -8 & 3\\ 0 & 1& -2 \end{array}\right]$.

Work Step by Step

The given matrix is $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -8 & 3\\ 0 & 7& -14 \end{array}\right]$ Perform $R_2\rightarrow \frac{1}{7} R_2$. Divide the second row by $7$. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -8 & 3\\ (1/7)0 & (1/7) 7& (1/7)(-14) \end{array}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -8 & 3\\ 0 & 1& -2 \end{array}\right]$.
