(Only use elementary row operations and correct row operation notation.)

Question: Find the inverses of the matrices if they exist.

### Matrices and Row Reduction Algorithm

#### Problem Statement

Given the matrices \( A \) and \( B \), use the row reduction algorithm to find their row echelon form.

#### Matrices

(a) The matrix \( A \) is given by:

\[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & -3 \\ -8 & 6 \end{bmatrix} \]

(b) The matrix \( B \) is given by:

\[ B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & -2 \end{bmatrix} \]

#### Instructions

1. **Initial Matrices**:
   - Identify the given matrices \( A \) and \( B \).
   
2. **Row Reduction Algorithm**:
   - Perform row operations to transform matrices \( A \) and \( B \) into row echelon form (REF).
   - The objective is to make all elements below the main diagonal zero, transforming the matrix to an upper triangular form.

3. **Operations**:
   - Utilize elementary row operations (e.g., row swapping, row multiplication by a non-zero scalar, and adding/subtracting multiples of rows) to achieve the required form.

By following the row reduction steps, you will convert matrices \( A \) and \( B \) into their respective row echelon forms. Ensure that each step is performed accurately to maintain the integrity of the matrix transformations.

This information illustrates how matrices can be manipulated using row reduction to solve systems of linear equations or to find solutions for other matrix-related problems.
