`2x-y+3z=24`
`2y-z=14`
`7x-5y=6`
Write the equations as,
`[[2,-1,3,|24],[0,2,-1,|14],[7,-5,0,|6]]`
Make the pivot in the first column by dividing the First row by 2,
`[[1,-1/2,3/2,|12],[0,2,-1,|14],[7,-5,0,|6]]`
Multiply the first row by 7,
`[[7,-7/2,21/2,|84],[0,2,-1,|14],[7,-5,0,|6]]`
Subtract the 1st row from the 3rd row and restore it,
`[[1,-1/2,3/2,|12],[0,2,-1,|14],[0,-3/2,-21/2,|-78]]`
Make the pivot in the second column by dividing the 2nd row by 2,
