[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 0 & - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]

$[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 0 & - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]$

[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 0 & - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]

[\begin{array}{c} 1 & 0 & 0 & - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]

Step 5

The right half of the reduced row echelon form is the inverse.

[\begin{array}{c} - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]

$[\begin{array}{c} - \frac{10}{7} & \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7} \\ - \frac{2}{7} & \frac{3}{7} & - \frac{1}{7} \\ \frac{9}{7} & - \frac{3}{7} & \frac{1}{7} \end{array}]$
