Okay, so we're given a matrix and we're asked to make the negative 4 into a 0, and we're asked to make the 8 into a 0.
00:14
And for both of those, we're going to use row 1.
00:18
All right, so let's start with this negative 4.
00:23
To make that into a 0, the number above it needs to become a 4.
00:29
And to do that, i have to multiply by 4.
00:33
So we need to do four times row one.
00:37
Then, because there'll be opposites, we're going to add row two to that value.
00:46
Now, we can check that and make sure that it does work.
00:50
If i did four times row one, i would have four, i would have 12, and i would have negative 16.
00:58
My second row is negative 4, 1, and negative 1.
01:04
So if i add those two together, i would get 0 .0.
01:08
0, 13, and negative 17...
