Answer

$AX=B$ has a unique solution $A^{-1}B$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ be an invertible $n$$\times$$n$ matrix and let $B$ be an $n$$\times$$p$ matrix. Since $A$ is invertible, $A^{-1}B$ satisfies $AX=B$ $A(A^{-1}B)=AA^{-1}B=IB=B$ Let $X$ be a solution of $AX=B$. Then: $A^{-1}(AX)=A^{-1}B$ $IX=A^{-1}B$ $X=A^{-1}B$
