Answer

$\begin{bmatrix}7&2\\8&3\end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Let's note: $$A=\begin{bmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}.$$ We are given that $det A=5$, therefore we have: $$ad-bc=5.\tag1$$ We then find: $$\begin{align*} a&=7\\ b&=2\\ c&=8\\ 7d-2\cdot 8&=5\\ 7d&=21\\ d&=3. \end{align*}$$ The matrix is: $$A=\begin{bmatrix}7&2\\8&3\end{bmatrix}.$$
