Initialization:

Context('Matrix');

do {

$A = Matrix([
[non_zero_random(-5,5,1),non_zero_random(-5,5,1)],
[non_zero_random(-5,5,1),non_zero_random(-5,5,1)],
[non_zero_random(-5,5,1),non_zero_random(-5,5,1)],
]);

} until (($A->row(1) != $A->row(2)) && 
         ($A->row(1) != $A->row(3)) && 
         ($A->row(2) != $A->row(3)));

$k = random(2,9,1);

$op = "R_{1} + $k R_{2} \rightarrow R_{1}";

$answer = Matrix([
  $A->row(1) + $k*($A->row(2)),
  $A->row(2),
  $A->row(3),
  ]);

Setup: Construct a matrix with three distinct rows. Create a string $op of Tex code that describes the row operation. Use $A->row(i) to extract the ith row of the matrix A as a MathObject. Use $A->row(1) + $k*($A->row(2)) to perform the row operation and place it into the first row of the answer matrix.

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT
