How do you solve Ax=BAx=B given A^-1=((2, -1), (3, -2)) and B=((2), (3))?

I found: x=((x_1),(x_2))=((1),(0))

Explanation:

As in a normal equation we can multiply both sides for the same amount:
color(red)(A^-1)Ax=color(red)(A^-1)B
Ix=A^-1B
where I is the 4xx4 identity matrix giving;
x=A^-1B
multiplying the two matrices on the right we get:
x=((4-3),(6-6))=((1),(0))
where we get, for the incognitas' vector x, two solutions:
x=((x_1),(x_2))=((1),(0))
