Answer

The required value of the array is $\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -11 & -11 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$

Work Step by Step

The given array is: $\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 4 & -3 & -15 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ (I) Then multiply row 1st of equation (I) by $-4$ and then add this to the 2nd row numbers by using the relation: ${{R}_{2}}\to {{R}_{1}}\times \left( -4 \right)+{{R}_{2}}$ After that, $\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 1\left( -4 \right)+4 & 2\left( -4 \right)+\left( -3 \right) & -1\left( -4 \right)+\left( -15 \right) \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Thus, $\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -11 & -11 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ Hence, the required array is: $\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -11 & -11 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$.
