1 of 2

From the given, the original matrix is the second matrix. Notice that 2-2 times R1R_1 added to R2R_2 is used since:

[123456789]\left[ \begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 2 & 3\\ 4 & 5 & 6\\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{array} \right]

(2)R1+R2[1232(1)+42(2)+52(3)+6789]=[123210789](-2)R_1+R_2\to \left[ \begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 2 & 3\\ -2(1)+4 & -2(2)+5 & -2(3)+6\\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 2 & 3\\ 2 & 1 & 0\\ 7 & 8 & 9 \end{array} \right]

So, the correct answer is choice (B).\textbf{\color{#c34632}(B).}
