Answer :

Given:

The leading coefficient of the first equation is 70.

The leading coefficient of the second equation is 50.

The leading coefficient of the third equation is 65.

Required:

We need to divide each row by the leading coefficient.

Explanation:

Divide the first row of the augmented matrix by 70.

[tex]\frac{1}{70}R_1\rightarrow R_1[/tex]

Divide the second row of the augmented matrix by 50.

[tex]\frac{1}{50}R_2\rightarrow R_2[/tex]

Divide the third row of the augmented matrix by 65.

[tex]\frac{1}{65}R_3\rightarrow R_3[/tex]

Final answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{70}R_1\rightarrow R_1[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{50}R_2\rightarrow R_2[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{65}R_3\rightarrow R_{3-}[/tex]
