Is this matrix equation correct?












0












$begingroup$


In this equation I have the following: $B,I$ and $A$ and I have to find the X matrix.
$$3I + B -XA = -X$$



Then I calculated:
$$3I + B = XA -X$$
$$3I + B = X(A-I)$$



Is this correct?
$$3I + B + (A-I)^{-1} = X$$

    $(A-I)^{-1}$ may not exist. Take $A=I$, $B=0$,, then there is no solution.

    $$A$$ and $$B$$ are defined, $$I$$ is identity matrix. Why would not $$(A-I)^-1$$ exist?

    Why should $A-I$ be invertible? This is not always the case.

    Check your own work: substitute the expression that you came up with for $X$ into the original equation and see what you get.

The last expression should replaced by $X=(3I+B) (A-I)^{-1}$, but note that, as pointed out by @Bernard, $(A-I)^{-1}$ may not exist (for instance, if $A=I$).

    @AnB The factor $(A-I) $ is on the right, so if you right multiply both sides of the equation by its inverse the two factors on the right hand side will cancel out.
