Answer

$ \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -3 & 1\\ 0 & 7&-7 \end{array}\right]$.

Work Step by Step

The given matrix is $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -3 & 1\\ 2 & 1& -5 \end{array}\right]$ Perform $R_2\rightarrow -2R_1+R_2$. Multiply the first row by $-2$ and add to the second row. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -3 & 1\\ -2(1)+2 & -2(-3)+ 1&-2(1)+ (-5) \end{array}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{cc|c} 1 & -3 & 1\\ 0 & 7&-7 \end{array}\right]$.
