Question
**Matrix Row Echelon Form Tutorial**

In this lesson, we will learn how to use elementary row operations to write the given matrix in row echelon form.

Given Matrix:
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 4 & | & 1 \\
2 & 2 & 7 & | & 3 \\
3 & 6 & 8 & | & -1
\end{bmatrix}
\]

### Steps to Achieve Row Echelon Form:

1. **Leading Entries**: Transform the matrix such that each leading entry in a row is 1, and is to the right of the leading entry in the row above it.

2. **Zeroes Below Leading Entries**: Ensure that all entries below a leading entry are zeros.

3. **Pivot Position**: Identify the columns containing the leading entries (known as pivot columns).

### Tasks:

- Apply elementary row operations such as row swapping, scalar multiplication, and row addition or subtraction to achieve the row echelon form.
- Enter your final results into the blank matrix provided.

**Practice Exercise:**
- Fill in the missing steps and complete the matrix transformation process.

This exercise will help reinforce the concept of row echelon form using basic operations. Remember to carefully perform each operation while ensuring the integrity of the original matrix structure is maintained.
