Answer

The second and third columns of $A^{-1}$ is $\begin{bmatrix} 1.5&-4.5\\ -433/6&219.5\\ 68/3&-69 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Let us write the matrix $[A\ e_2\ e_3]$ $\begin{bmatrix} -25&-9&-27&0&0\\ 546&180&537&1&0\\ 154&50&149&0&1 \end{bmatrix}$ If we row reduce this such that the first three columns form the identity matrix, the fourth and fifth columns will be the second and third columns of the inverse of A. $\begin{bmatrix} 1&0&0&1.5&-4.5\\ 0&1&0&-433/6&219.5\\ 0&0&1&68/3&-69 \end{bmatrix}$
