Prove that exist a matrix $X in mathbb C^{m,n}$ for which $B=AX$
$begingroup$
There are a matrices $A in mathbb C^{m,m}$ and $B in mathbb C^{m,n}$ for which $rank[A | B]=rank A$. Prove that exist a matrix $X in mathbb C^{m,n}$ for which $B=AX$.
I know that probably this task is really easy because the thesis seems quite obvious. However I really try to do it for a long time and I still can not prove it.
Can you get some tips?

@Christoph If I have $rank[A | B]=rank A$ then I know that where I have the zero rows of matrix $A$ there are also zeroes of the matrix $B$ and I think that vectors in lines of matrix $A$ and $B$ are linearly dependent, so I have $B=AX$ but this proof it's not good and I do not know how to prove it in a better way.

You claim "so I have $B=AX$" without any justification, so this is not a proof at all. See my answer for an approach.

Hint: The rank of a matrix $Min K^{mtimes n}$ with columns $M_1,dots,M_nin K^m$ is the dimension of $langle M_1,dots,M_n rangle$ (the subspace of $K^m$ spanned by $M_1,dots,M_n$). Since $operatorname{rank}(A) = operatorname{rank}(A|B)$ you have
$$
langle A_1,dots,A_m rangle = langle A_1,dots,A_m,B_1,dots,B_nrangle.
$$
Can you take it from here?

No, I don't mean that. I mean exactly what I said. There are real number $x_{ij}$ such that $B_i = sum_{j=1}^m x_{ji} A_j$. Letting $X=(x_{ij})$ yields $B = AX$.
