[tex] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&4&|8\\0&-7&|-7\end{array}\right] [/tex]

[tex] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&4&|8\\0&1&|1\end{array}\right] [/tex]

[tex] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&0&|4\\0&1&|1\end{array}\right] [/tex]
times top row by -1
[tex] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&|-4\\0&1&|1\end{array}\right] [/tex]
