Answer

$ \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & 2&2\\ 0 & 1& -1& 2\\ 0&0&9&-9 \end{array}\right]$.

Work Step by Step

The given matrix is $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & 2&2\\ 0 & 1& -1& 2\\ 0&5&4&1 \end{array}\right]$ Perform $R_3\rightarrow -5R_2+R_3$. Multiply the second row by $-5$ and add to the third row. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & 2&2\\ 0 & 1& -1& 2\\ -5(0)+0&-5(1)+5&-5(-1)+4&-5(2)+1 \end{array}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 2 & 2&2\\ 0 & 1& -1& 2\\ 0&0&9&-9 \end{array}\right]$.
