True or false: Each matrix is row equivalent to one and only one reduced echelon matrix.

True.
Every matrix can be row reduced to an echelon form, and every echelon form can be further reduced to a unique reduced echelon form. The reduced echelon form may not be unique in terms of the entries that are non-zero, but the positions at which the non-zero entries occur are unique. Therefore, every matrix is row equivalent to one and only one reduced echelon matrix.
