Note that this step eliminates $y$ from the second equation.

Next we divide both sides of the second equation by $7$. $$\frac{1}{7}R_2\rightarrow R_2$$

We now know what $x$ is. Our next goal is to eliminate $x$ from the first equation. To this end, we subtract twice the second row from the first row and replace the first row with the difference. $$R_1-2R_2\rightarrow R_1$$

In this problem, we prompt you to perform elementary row operations on (\ref{eq:sys20originalsystem1}) and ask you to fill in the coefficients in the resulting equations. This is a multi-step process. Steps will unfold automatically as you enter correct answers.

Observe that throughout the entire process, variables $x$, $y$, $z$ and $w$ remained in place; only the coefficients in front of the variables and the entries on the right changed. Let's try to recreate this process without writing down the variables. We can capture the original system in (\ref{eq:sys20originalsystem1}) as follows:
