Answer

$ \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -4& 5\\ 0 &-1 & 26& -20 \\ 2&-1&4&-3 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

The augmented matrix is $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -4& 5\\ 6 & -1 & 2& 10 \\ 2&-1&4&-3 \end{array}\right]$ Perform $R_2\rightarrow -6R_1+ R_2$. Multiply the first row by $-6$ and add to the second row. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -4& 5\\ -6(1)+6 &-6(0)+ (-1) & -6(-4)+2& -6(5)+10 \\ 2&-1&4&-3 \end{array}\right]$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \left[\begin{array}{ccc|c} 1 & 0 & -4& 5\\ 0 &-1 & 26& -20 \\ 2&-1&4&-3 \end{array}\right]$.
