Matrices Equations: is it Okay to Transpose Both Sides?












1












$begingroup$


I have this matrices equation:
$$(AX+I)^T=2I$$



Is it possible to transpose both sides to get this?
$$
((AX+I)^T)^T=2(I)^T
\
AX+I=2I$$

And then
$$AX=I
\X=A^{-1}
$$



Thank you.

    Its possible. In the last step, $A$ must be invertible.

    It is the first property of matrix transposition.

All your steps are correct ! Your result $X=A^{-1}$ is also correct.

    It is necessary for $A$ to be invertible for the equation to have a solution indeed. But it is important to note that the equation has no solution if $A$ is not invertible.

    What is your problem ? We have $(AX+I)^T=2I iff AX=I$. Hence, the equation $(AX+I)^T=2I $ implies that $A$ is invertible.

    You are making the assumption that the equation has a solution in order to conclude that $A$ is invertible. That is all is being said here.
