In the first step, do the following:
a. Retain the existing row 1.
b. To get the new row 2, multiply row 1 by -2, and add the result to the existing row 2. Thus the new row 2 is 0, 0, 0, since
(i) (-2)*(1/3) = -2/3, and (-2/3) + 2/3 = 0
(ii) (-2)*(1/4) = -2/4, and (-2/4) + 2/4 = 0
(iii) (-2)*(1/5) = -2/5, and (-2/5) + 2/5 = 0
c. To get the new row 3, multiply row 1 by -3, and add the result to the existing row 3. Thus the new row 3 is 0, 0, 0, since
(i) (-3)*(1/3) = -3/3, and (-3/3) + 3/3 = 0
(ii) ...
