Answer

Thus, X = [7342] [12] = [713241+22] = [10].

Steps

Step 1 :1. First, we need to find the inverse of matrix A, denoted as A^{-1}. The formula for a 2x2 matrix is 1adbc [dbca].

Step 2 :So, the inverse of A, A^{-1}, is 12734 [7342] = [7342].

Step 3 :2. We can solve for X by multiplying A^{-1} by B. Therefore, X = A^{-1}B.

Step 4 :Thus, X = [7342] [12] = [713241+22] = [10].
