Answer

-1 0 1 A= 2 1 0 1 -1 1

Work Step by Step

First at all note that A must be a 3x3 matrix in a order. We know that in usual way is as [aij]. So: 1·a11+ 3·a21+ 2·a31= 7 1·a12+ 3·a22+ 2·a32= 1 1·a13+ 3·a23+ 2·a33= 3 2·a11+ 1·a21+ 1·a31= 1 2·a12+ 1·a22+ 1·a32= 0 2·a13+ 1·a23+ 1·a33= 3 4·a11+ 0·a21+ 3·a31=−1 4·a12+ 0·a22+ 3·a32=−3 4·a13+ 0·a23+ 3·a33= 7 By solving this equation we can find that a11=-1, a21-2, also a31=1. And by similar reasoning we can know that a12=0, a22=1, a32=-1 and a13=1, a23=0 , also a33=1 then we can find the A matrix.
