Here A=[2312]and B=[4−6−24] ⇒AB=[2312][4−6−24]=[2002]=2I
⇒A(12B)=I ∴A−1=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]⇒P−1PX=P−1C ⇒I X=P−1C ∴X=P−1C [Note that P=AT ∴P−1=(A−1)T]Therefore X=12[4−2−64][41] ⇒X=12[14−20] ⇒[xy]=[7−10]
By equality of matrices, we get : x = 7, y = -10.
