[40778047680013/20000000]\left[\begin{array}{cccc|c} 4 & 0 & -7 & 7 & -8 \\0&-4&-7&6&8\\0&0&-13/2&0&0\\0&0&0&0&0\end{array} \right]

Is this the same as the augmented matrix above?

If we call the variables, v,w,x,y in order.

Then start at the bottom and work up.

0y=0, so y could be anything.

Etc.
