Step 1
system Ax=b is
[111157325][xyz]=[1130]
augmented matrix is
[1111157133250]
Step 2
R1R3
[3250157131111]
R2R2+13R1
R3R3+13R1
[3250013326313013231]
R3R3113R2
=[32500133263130000]
R2313R2
=[325001230000]
R1R1+2R2
[309601230000]
R113R1
=[103201230000]
reduced system is
[103012000][xyz]=[230]
x3z=2..x2+3z
