Solution

Here A=[2312]and B=[4624] AB=[2312][4624]=[2002]=2I
A(12B)=I A1=12B.....(i)The given system of equations 2x+y=4,3x+2y=1 can be written as PX=C where, P=[2132], X=[xy] and C=[41]P1PX=P1C I X=P1C X=P1C [Note that P=AT P1=(A1)T]Therefore X=12[4264][41] X=12[1420] [xy]=[710]
By equality of matrices, we get : x = 7, y = -10.
