Answer

$A^{-1} B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}10 & -1 \\ 9 & 10 \\ -5 & -3\end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

$A X=B$ in augmented matrix. Note that solution $X$ is $3 \times 2$ matrix. $\left[\begin{array}{ccc|cc}1 & 3 & 8 & -3 & 5 \\ 2 & 4 & 11 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 & 3 & 4\end{array}\right],$ multiply first row with -2,-1 and add to second, third $\sim\left[\begin{array}{ccc|cc}1 & 3 & 8 & -3 & 5 \\ 0 & -2 & -5 & 7 & -5 \\ 0 & -1 & -3 & 6 & -1\end{array}\right],$ multiply third row with - 2 and add to second $\sim\left[\begin{array}{ccc|cc}1 & 3 & 8 & -3 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -5 & -3 \\ 0 & -1 & -3 & 6 & -1\end{array}\right]$ From second row: $x_{31}=-5$ $x_{32}=-3$ From third row: $-x_{21}-3 x_{31}=6$ $-x_{21}+15=6$ $x_{21}=9$ $-x_{22}-3 x_{32}=-1$ $-x_{22}+9=-1$ $x_{22}=10$ 2 From first row: $x_{11}+27-40=-3$ $x_{11}=10$ $x_{12}+30-24=5$ $x_{12}=-1$ $A^{-1} B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}10 & -1 \\ 9 & 10 \\ -5 & -3\end{array}\right]$
