Method 1: Using the inverse:Find the inverse of Do you know how to find the inverse of a 2x2 matrix? If not post again asking how. Or use method 2 below. The inverse of is Left-multiply both sides by this inverse: ------------------------------- Method 2: equating corresponding elements: The right side is a 2x3 matrix. The 2x2 matrix on the left side must be right multiplied by a 2x3 matrix to get a 2x3 matrix Let be the required 2x3 matrix. Then, substituting, (matrix(2,3,a,b,c,d,e,f)) We equate corresponding elements on the 2nd row on both sides: , , Substituting those: We equate corresponding elements on the 1st row on both sides: So Edwin
