Solve the matrix equation for X. [1 -1 1, 2 3 0, 0 2 -1] X = [2 - 1 5 7 8, 4 0 -3, 0 1, 3 5 -7 2 1]

Given that:

[111230021]\begin{bmatrix} 1&-1&1 \\ 2 & 3& 0\\0 &2&-1 \end{bmatrix}

X =

[215784030135721]\begin{bmatrix} 2&-1&5 &7 &8 \\ 4 & 0& -3 & 0 &1\\3 &5&-7 &2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

We need to solve for X:

Suppose the matrix on the left hand side of X is called A.

Then AX =

[215784030135721]\begin{bmatrix} 2&-1&5 &7 &8 \\ 4 & 0& -3 & 0 &1\\3 &5&-7 &2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

Then X=

A1[215784030135721]A^{-1} \begin{bmatrix} 2&-1&5 &7 &8 \\ 4 & 0& -3 & 0 &1\\3 &5&-7 &2 &1 \end{bmatrix}

Then we need to get the matrix A1A^{-1} first.
